Abstract

The concept of common sense (sensus communis) serves as the methodological basis of the human sciences. It is inspired by the practical wisdom of Aristotle, which is expressed by the Greek term φρόνησις (in Latin, prudentia) in its original meaning. This paper intends to examine the skeptical or more common sense-based approach to the religious tradition from the Enlightenment to the present day, with an emphasis on the philosophies of religion formulated by Mendelssohn, Feuerbach, Gadamer, and Habermas. All four expressed their doubts about the reliability of speculation as a source of knowledge and consider practice to be the highest and most profound form of theory. They believed that the path to the unification of theory and practice, of language and activity, of understanding and life, lay in a greater distancing from metaphysical speculation and a closer approach to common sense.
