Download or read book Enlightened Common Sense written by Roy Bhaskar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, critical realism has grown to address a range of subjects, including economics, philosophy, science, and religion. It has become a complex and mature philosophy. Enlightened Common Sense: The Philosophy of Critical Realism looks back over this development in one concise and accessible volume. The late Roy Bhaskar was critical realism’s philosophical originator and chief exponent. He draws on a lifetime’s experience to give a definitive, systematic account of this increasingly influential, international and multidisciplinary approach. Critical realism’s key element has always been its vindication and deepening of our understanding of ontology. Arguing that realist ontology is inexorable in knowledge and action, Bhaskar sees this as the key to a new enlightened common sense. From the definition of critical realism and its applicability in the social sciences, to explanation of dialectical critical realism and the philosophy of metaReality, this is the essential introduction for students of critical realism.

Published anonymously in 1776, six months before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was a radical and impassioned call for America to free itself from British rule and set up an independent republican government. Savagely attacking hereditary kingship and aristocratic institutions, Paine urged a new beginning for his adopted country in which personal freedom and social equality would be upheld and economic and cultural progress encouraged. His pamphlet was the first to speak directly to a mass audience—it went through fifty-six editions within a year of publication—and its assertive and often caustic style both embodied the democratic spirit he advocated, and converted thousands of citizens to the cause of American independence.

Book excerpt: Who and what we are in reality far exceeds our conventional view of ourselves in time and space. We are hallucinating ourselves in many ways that diminish our understanding of the essential purity, radiance and unlimited potentiality that rests beneath the surface of our own misconception. Our miscalculations are merely passing storm clouds in the radiant and illuminating sky of our essential being. To uncover our inconceivable identity is the only true occupation of all sentient beings. Such a sacred endeavor surpasses all dogmatic religious philosophies and intellectual convolutions. For to come face to face with the essential and naked radiance of our own fundamental nature, is to solve with one stroke, every problem that has ever confronted humanity throughout the ages. When we recognize our essential inner radiance, even briefly, we can call off our search for truth because the wisdom of all eternity is right there within you. You have never lost it. Only misplaced it for a time.
Download or read book Common Sense Apologetics written by Dave Abell and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While atheists and religious liberals purport themselves to be enlightened intellectuals, what we find, upon deeper exploration, is that their intellectualism is simply a facade. Conversely, many believers are unable to defend their faith and shrink back when confronted with tough questions, particularly those concerning Jesus being the only way to Heaven. Whether out of fear, lack of knowledge, or a spirit of compromise, the ability to express the idea of one true Holy Book, and one true way to Heaven, seems to escape far too many Christians. Common Sense Apologetics will inspire Christians to drop this spirit of timidity, while gaining confidence and loving boldness when sharing the faith. Foundational, is the fact that God has not called Christians to believe what is not believable nor defend what is indefensible. The evidence for Gods existence and the truth of His Word is abundant and accessible. Christians have Biblical directives to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and lovingly contend for the faith when it is perverted from within and attacked from without. This book is uniquely constructed to present a practical approach to learning why the Christian faith is true, and a better method for defending that truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world that seems increasingly complex and confusing, cultivating a common sense mindset is crucial for guiding humanity towards a more balanced and harmonious future. Common sense, once a prevalent skill among people, has become a beacon lost in the depths of modern society. However, it is a skill that we can rediscover and nurture to bring clarity and rationality back into our lives. Common sense is not merely a collection of logical deductions or intellectual prowess. It is a way of thinking that allows us to make practical and sound judgments based on experience, intuition, and a deep understanding of the world around us. It is the ability to see beyond the noise of information overload and find the essence of truth and reason. In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, common sense is often overshadowed by the lure of instant gratification and surface-level thinking. We are bombarded with a constant influx of information and opinions, making it difficult to discern fact from fiction and make informed decisions. This is where cultivating a common sense mindset becomes paramount. To cultivate a common sense mindset, we must first recognize the importance of slowing down and embracing critical thinking. We need to take the time to question, reflect, and analyze the information that bombards us daily. By doing so, we can separate the wheat from the chaff, identifying the reliable sources and discarding the misleading ones .The common sense mindset is vital for humanity's progress in a confused world. By embracing critical thinking, reconnecting with our intuition, and learning from history, we can rediscover the lost skill of common sense and use it as a compass to navigate the complexities of the future. Let us embark on this journey together and pave the way for a more rational and enlightened world.
Download or read book Common Sense as a Paradigm of Thought written by Tim Delaney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of common sense and abiding by its implications is something that, seemingly, everyone agrees is a good way of making behavioral decisions and conducting one's daily activities. This holds true whether one is a liberal, moderate, or conservative; young or old; and regardless of one's race and ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. If utilizing common sense is such a good idea, why then, do so many people seem to violate it? This is just one of many significant questions surrounding the idea of common sense explored and discussed in this book. This volume presents common sense as a ‘paradigm of thought’ and as such, compares it to other major categories of thought — tradition, faith, enlightened and rational. Combining a balance of practical, everyday approaches (through the use of popular culture references and featured boxes) and academic analysis of core and conceptual methodological issues, Delaney demonstrates: The limitations of common sense and its place in everyday social interactions How we learn about common sense Why common sense is so important Common Sense as a Paradigm of Thought introduces readers to a rich variety of sociological authors and will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as: sociology, philosophy, social psychology, cultural studies, communications and health studies.
