Emphasize tested and approved ways if the group – hence idea of good sense.

Commonsense – often vague and ambiguous

Superficially grounded and may vary from individual to individual, groups to group, areas to area

It is often mixture of fact and prejudice, wisdom and emotional bias.

Includes notions that have formed without careful reflection and criticism.

Commonsense is in considerable sense untested belief– e.g. people who sweat on the nose have quick tempers.

Are raised on assumptions that are often unexplained that need to be checked and criticized – they however appear self- evident to those who hold them.

Commonsense opinions are seldom accompanied by explanations of why things are the way they are said to be.
