Common Sense: A Political History
Sophia Rosenfeld follows the idea of common sense from the Enlightenment and the age of revolutions into modern democratic politics. What appears to be ordinary, self-evident judgment has repeatedly been claimed by rival groups and used against experts, institutions, and dissenters. The book explains why appeals to the wisdom of ordinary people can support democratic equality while also narrowing debate and concealing ideology.
