Publisher's Synopsis

Common Sense reveals a political ideal so fundamental to American politics that we are unaware of its power and its myriad uses. Sophia Rosenfeld shows how common sense-the wisdom of ordinary people, self-evident truths-has been used to justify all political extremes, with a history that is anything but commonsensical.
