What Ive learned about Common Sense... blog 3

Since my last post Ive thought about the fact that common sense isn't so common through my eyes because not many people use it the same way as I. I use an in depth approach to answering certain questions I may have, and use the knowledge I have to put logic behind whatever conclusion my common sense comes up with. Ending up with an overall conclusion after an analysis of the issue, in which tells me whether my conclusion makes sense. And I can honestly say that the common sense Ive been goeing on about is more or so an advanced common sense. Not too many poeple have it becuase they dont think far enough. You have to be in the abstract (ontology.org).

How does someone use common sense? This is a reasonable question to ask. Considering we as human beings communicate on a daily basis, It should make for a swell example. Your very own introspection is what leads to your conclusion of a person after communication. And your own views dictate your introspection. But your unique common sensible reality is what dictates your views however; derives from the knowledge you've obtained throughout your unique life. Thus, everybody uses common sense in a unique way, in which a person obtains only through the knowledge they USE. Everyone uses common sense through the inferences they conclude towards, and the conclusion gets its authenticity from the individuals logic and knowledge. When considering that there's a large amount of knowledge in the world, there's a good probability that some knowledge at the least is common knowledge we all have. Which is why common sense is called common sense.

In contrast however, Ive heard an argument that common sense cant be learned as knowledge... That common sense is a natural thing that we all have [or at least should]. Also that it's something you cant teach (Billy M). After considering this view, I'd have to disagree, and Ill explain with the most common sensible example in the world [since streets were paved anyway]. Its common sense for anyone to look both ways before they cross a street. At least it is for those who can read well. But what I am saying is that I don't trust my niece crossing the street alone, without learning to look both ways first. And common sensibly, I wouldn't expect her to look both ways without learning to do so. Thus, common sense can be learned, and any argument against that would naturally have to be more in depth than the rather simple "yes you can, and this is why speech". And the reason for that is all the contradicting evidence held against the "no you cant learn common sense argument". All the evidence derives from the fact that looking both ways before crossing really is common sense that you've truly learned first. You learn something new everyday, don't forget that!

How can you expand your common sense. This one I promise you, is hard to explain. I mean sure, using common sense is as simple as using your head, but using it in stronger ways is the reason to expand it. The best way to expand your common sense is to rely on it. Use it everyday knowingly, and comprehend your unique way of using common sense. As the first paragraph explains, the common sense I'm going on about is more or so an advanced common sense. In a sense, It's philosophy. When you use your common sense in area's in which you only have a small background of knowledge on, the conclusion your common sense comes up with is indeed, a philosophy. And in order to come up with a philosophy, you must be in the abstract. Aristotle's students referred to ontology as The first philosophy. Ontology is a method of in depth clarification of the introspection (thoughts) you have. Your overall philosophy must be in the abstract, which means that your philosophy overall must be analyzed in depth. The methods of ontology are the methods of philosophy (what is ontology). Thus and therefore, common sense is directly linked to philosophy through their backgrounds. In which refers to logic, reasoning, introspection, knowledge, etc. In a sense, common sense derives from philosophy! And thats the conclusion of the day!
