Don't be Fooled

A Philosophy of Common Sense

Beschreibung

In this engaging and much-needed book Jan Bransen argues that the rise of behavioural sciences has caused a sea change in the relationship between science and common sense. Drawing on fascinating examples such as language and communication, money, and folk physics, Don't be Fooled: A Philosophy of Common Sense is a brilliant and wry defence of a skill that is a vital part of being human.
