The work deals with the concept of common sense in a brief historical overview with particular attention to Antonio Gramsci’s proposal. The use of this notion is exemplified in everyday life situations and the use formulated by the mass media. The appearance of hate speech is another incorporated theme that leads to expanding the study to social discourses and discursive hegemonies that occur in certain historical moments and concerning the validity of certain argumentative mechanisms. The breakdown of traditional logical sequences leads to the empire of enthymemes that only present conclusions. Common sense narratives are what allow the media right to impose on audiences outcomes with little or no evidence but that generate a high degree of verisimilitude. The emotionality added to the argumentative study allows us to notice that controversies and disputes are part of daily life and discursive exchanges. The perspective of initial agreement between the parties as the foundation of the idealist theory of argumentation is therefore questioned, which leads to take away the question of power, a factor that is always present in argumentative activity. Finally, the notion of deep disagreements that emerged in the last decades of the last century is reviewed and it is interesting to remember it to try to highlight issues that go beyond the theory of argumentation.

Objective: In this article, the significance of health and health practices in a group of artisanal fishermen from Yucatan, Mexico, are analyzed from the theory of social representations. Methodology: With a qualitative approach and ethnographic design, indirect observation was carried out in social networks (Facebook), direct observation in the community, and interviews with 10 artisanal fishermen, having as an axis of conversation discomfort, well-being and affectivity. Collection ended when saturation was reached. The information was typed for later content analysis using the ATLAS.ti 8 program. Results: The representative content is obscured by the dominant medical discourse, which emphasizes disease and its treatment. The body becomes the repository of discomfort. At the same time, it serves as the object that reflects it. At the affective level, there is a contradiction between living happily without worries and living with the fear and uncertainty of having a good catch or returning home. Conclusion: The discourse on fishermen's health protects contextual references that are built on an economic foundation that obscures the fishermen's problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The course that Leo Strauss devoted in 1966 to the dialogue Meno has as its initial purpose to explore the problem of commonsense and its ineffective transformation into scientific knowledge. From the careful reading of Plato and Jacob Klein, Strauss will end up giving only a few leads about this problem and directing us toward rather political issues around virtue, knowledge, and the difficult education of a man as Meno. This critical note will delve into the narrow space that Strauss devotes to the anamnesis, the relation soul-whole, and their implications for knowledge rooted in commonsense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Political personalism is a sociopolitical phenomenon that has been installed in countries where its main actors are charismatic and sui generis leadership figures. With the appearance of COVID-19 and the effects that it brought with it, they made certain types of decisions and designs that were not consistent or adequate with the critical situation generated. When analyzing the particular cases of President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, individualistic behaviors and actions contrary to fundamental human rights were observed [e.g. right to life] as well as the transgression of ethical and bioethical principles. This article will politically analyze the efforts and governance of these two political leaders considering their personal traits as well as the use of common sense to face the pandemic. The bioethical principles of non-maleficence, beneficence, respect for human life and that of individual and social responsibility were also considered, which allows addressing their irrational will and discretionary designs. Considering that these two countries are still going through this health crisis, serious macroeconomic problems, deep social and psychic crisis that has condemned even the respect for the life of its inhabitants, it is considered how this general picture raises uncertainty in the political future of these public figures.

The present article is an analysis of the concept of probability. In order to do this, I consider the conjunction of the points of view of David Hume and Jean Nicod. It is clear for both of them that probability is quite independent from any substantialist metaphysics, proclaiming thus that probability is not a matter of ontology. Hume considers that the Newtonian rationalism contributes some infallible truths, whereas, on the contrary, commonsense knowledge produces only probabilistic explanations. Nicod criticizes the logic of the inductivist methodologies proposed by Francis Bacon and John Stuart Mill who pretend to establish certainties in knowledge. Hume and Nicod have a tendency to adopt a pragmatic conception of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents different ways in which feminist theory problematizes and explains different modalities of exclusion and violence directed to subaltern groups. It is based on the premise that virtually all subalternized minorities are crossed by gender. This leads to analyzing the modalities of concentration and exercise of power, as well as the staggering of inequalities and oppressions in both individual and collective experience. Initially, a brief description is presented about the way the exercise of power is structured over difference. After it, we open three debates around feminist intervention: we introduce the way in which feminism is necessarily proposed as a transformative radical axiom; we take up part of the feminist inquires and methods when contesting common senses against in the social plane; and we propose the contribution of feminist practice as solidarity and as a critical way to transveralize coalitions of difference. We conclude reconstructing the possible operations on which collective narratives are generated among underrepresented groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we explore the notions about conflict and social divisions in current Argentina, its causes and consequences. Through the realization of some interviews, these notions were worked with 13 small entrepreneurs in the metropolitan region of Buenos Aires. The objective is to know the elements that give form to the concept of «la grieta» (the crack), which is part of the current public agenda, driven through the hegemonic media. We try to elucidate a knowledge that in principle appears fragmentary and contradictory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reflects the role of intersexuality in the field of contemporary, political and epistemic dispute, with regard to gender and sexuality. It is based on Geertz's conception of common sense as a cultural system in relation to understanding the fields of dispute concerning the body, normality, autonomy, knowledge and power. It is indicated that 'opposition' can be understood as an epochal condition, whereby certain socio-symbolic coordinates strive to extend the models of intelligibility of the human being --associated with posthumanity-- whilst others seek to maintain it within traditional limits.

With the purpose of contributing to current discussions regarding the gender category, this article approaches the relationship between "gender" and "commonsense". The analysis, positioned in a context of economic crisis in the city of Tijuana, México, during the first decade of 2000, reflects upon the production and circulation of certain "know-how's" and "abstract philosophies", in the official political discourses that emerged from gender mainstreaming, by means of the exaltation of work, family and care values. The article also considers the paradoxes between what is prescribed by the discourse, as a vision of the world, and the life experiences of workingwoman in the maquiladora industry, which may lead to questioning and inconformity in the face of the city's living conditions.

In this paper I analyze some classical arguments used by rhetorical tradition to oppose philosophical discourse. To do this, I give a brief account of the characteristics defining the philosophical discourse of Platonic-Cartesian affiliation that are relevant for the dispute with Rhetoric. Then, on the one hand, I dwell upon the rehabilitation of doxa (common sense) as a vital element of practical discourse in order to countering the downgrading of doxa by the universalistic approach of philosophy. On the other hand, based on the notion of common sense, I analyze the idea of “audience”, essential for Rhetoric, as well as the resulting plurality of spheres of validity. This horizontal plurality contrasts with the vertical monism of philosophical discourse. Finally, in the conclusion I point out one of the most urgent problems of this pluralistic movement that rhetoric has proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to identify the criteria of the common sense of Thomas Reid to present a new resignification and characterize the critical dispute as a methodological mechanism to transform the views of the common sense and the knowledge of the legitimate doxa. In addition, it seeks to stablish how the democratization of knowledge enables the appropriation of the legitimate doxa. Methodology: the hermeneutical method was used as a conceptual selection tool, analysis and interpretation of categories and data. Results: it was found that common sense is not understood as a collection of self - evident principles, but as a series of basic assumptions used to establish complex conjectures, from which individuals and communities think and transform the world. Not all the common-sense beliefs are credible; it is necessary to filter out the false beliefs through a methodological mechanism called critical dispute, which intersects two types of methodologies: the justificationists and fallibilists. Conclusions: it is concluded that after the doxa has been legitimated, it is transferred to the society using a transfer system that involves to democratize, disclose, appropriate and popularize knowledge.

The power of capital fails through again, and their representatives know it. Therefore, their defensive policies become more aggressive. If the door is ajar, you know, it will end up open... And they defend themselves; Hence their dangerousness and ferocity. These are times of civilization collapse and as such, we must understand them and reflect on them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies Arendt's critical interpretation of Hobbes' philosophy. The goal is to examine the confrontation of its antagonistic conceptions of politics based on the different understanding of key terms such as common sense, freedom and power. This analysis shows how the conflict largely revolves around the reduction or not of those categories to the subjective or private sphere. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explains the way cultural elements that are part of the indigenous cultural heritage of the Majayara community are the grounds of their society in spite of the different socio-cultural processes they have faced and that have determined their identity configuration. Even though these cultural elements have not been reproduced exactly as they were, they keep their indigenous roots adapted to modern rules. This has made it possible to establish cultural indicators (from the addition of cultural particularities) that although they are not generalized, are mutually exclusive for the rest of the population. This study focuses on Baracoa, Cuba's primacy. This town is characterized by an important indigenous heritage, evidenced by the different socio-economical activities developed by the population, among other things. These cultural patterns are represented in different ways: elements of the Arawac language reflected in the toponymy of the place, the culinary art, the pottery, and the agricultural, fishing and architectural techniques. This way, these inhabitants are subject to create their own ways of modernization within a space that, even though they adapted as their own, does not escape from contemporaneity.

The phenomenological conception of common sense inspired by James (1890) claims that attending is essentially a conscious mental phenomenon. The modal philosophical implications of this thesis regarding the nature of attention are clear. It is not possible to attend something without being conscious of that thing. On the basis of classical studies on visual pathologies such as blindsight and recent experiments with non-pathological subjects, this paper argues that the Jamesian philosophical conclusion regarding the metaphysics of attention is false. Evidence suggests that in fact it is possible to attend to objects without consciously experiencing them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

G.E. Moore's argument in "Proof of an External World" seems to beg the question against the skeptic and to miss the point of the challenge posed by skeptical hypotheses. I propose an interpretation that frees the argument from both charges. Starting from a distinction between the way Moore understood his dialectical position against the idealist and the skeptic, I attempt to illuminate the conception of skepticism that lies behind his argument. I propose that the argument's core is found in a strong anti-Cartesian statement, even though its relevance for epistemology is to be found in its potential as a stance regarding justification which is closer to the problematic of Pyrrhonic skepticism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Thomas Reid, Scottish philosopher of the XVIII Century, focuses his philosophical efforts in the theory of ideas and the relativism that follow it. Against the relativisms that leads that theory -and his skeptical consequences- Reid analyses such theory. In this text is presented the dialogue that the Scottish has with his contemporaries -Descartes, Malebranche, Locke, Berkeley and Hume, mainly- and his philosophical proposal that, with the help of Language reflection and the weak common sense, shows an intentional epistemological theory from the perceptive act integrated by the concept and the belief, with a broader foundation in the metaphysical value of the principles of common sense.

Sam Harris, in his book The Moral Landscape (2011), argues that "science can determine human values." Against this view, I argue that while secular moral philosophy can certainly help us to determine our values, science--at least as that word is commonly understood--must play a subservient role. To the extent that science can "determine" what we ought to do, it is only by providing us with empirical information, which can then be slotted into a chain of deductive (moral) reasoning. The premises of such reasoning, however, can in no way be derived from the scientific method: they come, instead, from philosophy--and common sense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this essay is to explain an ethnographic-hermeneutic study about discursive temporality and Venezuelan common sense, experienced during a series of bus trips during the 1990s, when the author travelled regularly to the city of Caracas. From an intimate, phenomenological psychosocial perspective, a discourse analysis model (Parker, 1995) is used, which fosters investigating the world of Venezuelan life starting from social semiosis and the common practices of people recorded in a "non place" (Augé, 1993), the limited functional space, ergonomically designed for inter-urban public transport: a Pullman bus.
