divdivIn this fascinating interdisciplinary book, Shawn W. Rosenberg challenges two basic assumptions that orient much contemporary social scientific thinking. Offering theory and empirical research, he rejects the classic liberal view that people share a basic “common sense” or rationality. At the same time, he questions the view of contemporary social theory that meaning is simply an intersubjective or cultural product. Through in-depth interviews, Rosenberg explores the underlying logic of cognition. Rather than discovering a common sense or rationality, he finds that people reason in fundamentally different ways, and these differences affect the kind of understandings they craft and the evaluations they make. As a result, people actively reconstruct culturally prevalent meanings and norms in their own subjective terms. Rosenberg provides a comprehensive description of three types of socio-political reasoning and the full text of three exemplary interviews. Rosenberg’s findings help explain such puzzling social phenomena as why people do not learn even when it is to their advantage to do so, or why they fail to adapt to changed social conditions even when they have clear information and motivation. The author argues that this kind of failure is commonplace and discusses examples ranging from the crisis of modernity to the classroom performance of university students. Building on the ideas of Jean Piaget, George Herbert Mead, and Jurgen Habermas, Rosenberg offers a new orienting vision, structural pragmatics, to account for these social phenomena and his own research in cognition. In the concluding chapter, he discusses the implications of his work for the study of social cognition, political behavior, and democratic theory. /DIV/DIV

This book stands in the tradition of past and current common sense philosophers, like Reid, Berkeley, Sidgwick, Moore, Conant, Slote, Bogdan, and Lemos, who defend common sense, yet it goes beyond their accounts by not only defending common sense but also considering what common sense means. Besides giving a historical exegesis of common sense in Thomas Reid and showing parallels in Austin, Searle, Moore, and Wittgenstein, common sense is also discovered in Hume's An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals and in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. It is made clear how far common sense generalizes, whether proverbs are a form of common sense, and whether common sense can be found in the common knowledge assumption in game theory. Also, folk psychology as a common sense psychology is discussed. In its account of common sense, this book draws on research from history of philosophy, philosophy of mind, and science, linguistics, and game theory to substantiate its position.

Common Sense and Science from Aristotle to Reid reveals that thinkers have pondered the nature of common sense and its relationship to science and scientific thinking for a very long time. It demonstrates how a diverse array of neglected early modern thinkers turn out to have been on the right track for understanding how the mind makes sense of the world and how basic features of the human mind and cognition are related to scientific theory and practice. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and scholarship from the history of ideas, cognitive science, and the history and philosophy of science, this book helps readers understand the fundamental historical and philosophical relationship between common sense and science.

This book explores the relationship between schizophrenia and common sense. It approaches this theme from a multidisciplinary perspective. Coverage features contributions from phenomenology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy of mind, psychology, and social cognition. The contributors address the following questions: How relevant is the loss of common sense in schizophrenia? How can the study of schizophrenia contribute to the study of common sense? How to understand and explain this loss of common sense? They also consider: What is the relationship of practical reasoning and logical formal reasoning with schizophrenia? What is the relationship between the person with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and social values? Chapters examine such issues as rationality, emotions, self, and delusion. In addition, one looks at brain structure and neurotransmission. Others explore phenomenological and Wittgensteinian theories. The book features papers from the Schizophrenia and Common Sense International Workshop, held at New University of Lisbon, November 2015. It offers new insights into this topic and will appeal to researchers, students, as well as interested general readers.

REASON AND COMMON SENSE REASON AND COMMON SENSE AN INQUIRY INTO SOME PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY by R. G. MAYOR with a Preface by SIR DESMOND MACCARTHY, L. L. D. ROUTLEDGE KEGAN PAUL LTD Broadway House, 68-74 Garter Lane London NOTE ROBERT GROTE MAYOR died in 1947, leaving Reason and Common Sense in typescript. It is here printed in an abridged form, which has been prepared and edited by J. P. Corbett, Fellow and Jowett Lecturer in Philosophy, Balliol College, Oxford, and E. Oilman, Assistant Lecturer in Philosophy, Manchester University. PREFACE ROBERT MAYOR RBERT JOHN GROTE MAYOR, Robin to all his friends, was born in 1869. Both his parents belonged to gifted families. His father was the Rev. J. B. Mayor, Professor at Kings College, London, and the author of a first-rate book on Greek philosophy. Two of his Mayor uncles were also Fellows of St. Johns, Cambridge one was a mathematician, the other that eminent scholar J. E. B. Mayor, who edited Juvenal, became Regius Professor of Latin at Cambridge and according to the Dictionary of National Biography, revelled in classical literature from the age of six. His mother was the niece of George Grote, the author of that History of Greece which for many years remained superior to all others he was also a banker, an important M. P., and an original founder of the first London University, and he was duly buried in Westminster Abbey. His brother, John Grote, won a considerable reputation as a Benthamite, and became Professor of Moral Philosophy at Cambridge. Francis Galton, who collected evidence of ability running in families, would have been interested in Robin Mayors descent. He entered Eton as a K. S. in 1882 and before he left he had won The Newcastle, the prime classical award, and also a scholarship at Kings. To Cambridge he went in 1888. He had been, as might have been expected, happy at Eton, for he was born friendly, modest and cheerful, and he was also athletic. I cannot, however, imagine him glorying much either in retrospect or at the time, over his school successes. I picture him at Eton as an even-tempered, independent boy, conscientious, but un censorious, privately fastidious, not very talkative, laughing a good deal with other boys, reading much, working hard and sometimes craving for more rational conversation than was often available the sort of boy with whom other boys occasionally take viii PREFACE council, though they never pour out to him their grievances, ambitions, and troubles. It must have always been a great pleasure to teach him with his alert, clear mind and accurate, retentive memory, and that innate modesty which was characteristic of him. He seldom talked about his school-days. Indeed, he was one of those who, if the present is tolerable, seldom live much in the past, although I am inclined to make an exception of those years he spent at Cambridge they, I think, were never far from his mind. His university years as often happens with men of intellect who are responsive to friendship seemed to him to have held if not the richest portion of life, what, at any rate, is almost better, the richest promise. He was in the first class in both parts of the Classical Tripos, won both the Bell and the Craven scholarships and was proxime accessit for the Chancellors Medal. Incidentally, he also captained the University Hare and Hounds, and won in 1891 the Inter-University Cross Country Championship. Yet it is safe to say that these gratifying successes, academic and athletic, were of less importance to him than his friendships, and what he learned from talk with his friends. In 1894 he obtained a Research Fellowship on the strength of a dissertation on The Oligarchical Revolutions in Athens at the Close of the Fifth Century...

The first reference on rationality that integrates accounts from psychology and philosophy, covering descriptive and normative theories from both disciplines. Both analytic philosophy and cognitive psychology have made dramatic advances in understanding rationality, but there has been little interaction between the disciplines. This volume offers the first integrated overview of the state of the art in the psychology and philosophy of rationality. Written by leading experts from both disciplines, The Handbook of Rationality covers the main normative and descriptive theories of rationality—how people ought to think, how they actually think, and why we often deviate from what we can call rational. It also offers insights from other fields such as artificial intelligence, economics, the social sciences, and cognitive neuroscience. The Handbook proposes a novel classification system for researchers in human rationality, and it creates new connections between rationality research in philosophy, psychology, and other disciplines. Following the basic distinction between theoretical and practical rationality, the book first considers the theoretical side, including normative and descriptive theories of logical, probabilistic, causal, and defeasible reasoning. It then turns to the practical side, discussing topics such as decision making, bounded rationality, game theory, deontic and legal reasoning, and the relation between rationality and morality. Finally, it covers topics that arise in both theoretical and practical rationality, including visual and spatial thinking, scientific rationality, how children learn to reason rationally, and the connection between intelligence and rationality.
