What Is Common Sense?

What is common sense? It's a question that isn't easily answered in a few words. It's not an easy question to answer and because of the philosophical nature of it it's not something that's answered in a few words or few sentences. It's something worthy of study and discussion. It helps to look at examples of common sense and example of common sense in daily life. It's something that impacts every area of our lives. Work, politics, religion, raising children, dealing with people, surviving and thriving. All of these things are prone to reasoning. Sound judgement. It's the way to live a satisfying life. Some people have related common sense to stoicism. And it's true many great philosophers were stoics. Common sense is as important today as it’s ever been. Some people say common sense is dead. Why is that? Maybe it’s technology, maybe it’s the way we look at things differently, but it doesn’t mean the basic truth of common sense is any less important.
