Common sense:  using sound and prudent judgment, coming from experiences, notions, intuitiveness.

Foolishness:  Add "not" to the above.

Isn't it common sense to look up a word in the dictionary when you want the definition?

Common sense is simply thinking things out in a rational and flexible manner to make your desires come true-you fit your needs into the framework of reality.

Foolishness is insisting that reality meet your fantasy-but being too lazy or ignorant to do the work to make it happen.


Exactly :-)

Foolishness is NOT listening to your common sense.  LOL

Status: offline 		"Common sense" is a handy phrase you can use in order to imply that what you think is right is right for everyone else, too.  People just call it "common sense" so that what they say doesn't sound as offensive as it really is.

There was a time when "common sense" meant believing that the earth must be flat.  And that the sun rotates around the earth.

Status: offline 		That's misleading.  "Sensus communis" is the Latin translation of the Greek "koine aisthesis" (as in Aristotle), which is also translated as "common sense" in philosophical literature, but it doesn't refer to what we ordinarily mean by "common sense" today.  "Sensus communis" and "koine aisthesis" refer to the part of a conscious life form that interprets all the data reported by the various sense organs and renders it into a coherent whole.  In other words, it's the "common," or "shared" sense, as opposed to all the other disparate senses.  We normally think of the mind as the "common sense" in that meaning.

(For example, see http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mental-imagery/notes.html, footnote 18: "Note that the Aristotelian concept of koine aisthesis, although it translates literally as 'common sense,' is unrelated to the modern colloquial meaning of that expression.")

And everyone has the different levels of desires as to time and actions.

I can't say some are crazy............maybe I might envy.......

Very well said, I concur

Status: offline 		That is interesting.  Who knew you couldn't rely on Yahoo! Education for your etymology education?

Though I wonder...Mabye since the original greek translations and its meaning has nothing to do with modern day concepts of common sense, but the later latin translation does, the etymology of our modern day "common sense" is theLatin translation rather than Greek.

Status: offline 		No, because the Latin term "sensus communis" doesn't mean what we call "common sense" either.  I wouldn't be surprised if our expression "common sense" derives ultimately from the philosophical idea, but that would be long after people stopped speaking Latin.

I'm not too surprised that you can't rely on Yahoo Education.  Web resources are VERY unreliable.  You really have to know how to handle them.
