The problem with common sense: Common sense is often held up as an antidote to our contemporary political issues, and as preferable to philosophical speculation. But what makes common sense common? And is it really common, or does it simply mask the interests of the powerful? That’s what I try to explore in this video, using references to Fredric Jameson, Slavoj Žižek, Alain Badiou, Antonio Gramsci, Chantal Mouffe, and more.
Thanks for watching,
Julian
