Common Sense
mon Sense, Noah Lemos presents a strong defense of mon
sense tradition, the view that we may take as data for philosophical inquiry
many of the things we ordinarily think we discusses the main
features of that tradition as expounded by Thomas Reid, G. E. Moore,
and Roderick Chisholm.
For a long time, common sense philosophers have been subject to two
main objections: that they fail to give any non-circular argument for the
reliability of memory and perception, and that they pick out instances of
knowledge without knowing a criterion for knowledge. Lemos defends
the appeal to what we ordinarily think we know in both epistemology
and ethics, and thus rejects the charge mon sense is dogmatic,
unphilosophical, or viciously question-begging.
Written in a clear and engaging style, Common Sense will appeal to
students and philosophers in epistemology and ethics.
Noah Lemos is Professor of Philosophy at DePauw University.
