In this 2004 book, Noah Lemos presents a strong defense of the
common sense tradition, the view that we may take as data for
philosophical inquiry many of the things we ordinarily think we
know. He 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 that
common sense is dogmatic, unphilosophical or question-begging.
Written in a clear and engaging style, this book will appeal to
students and philosophers in epistemology and ethics.
