On the verge of failure: science and humanism

Salyamov Kamil Maratovich

The article demonstrates the existence of a special line of philosophizing - the line of common sense. This line is contrasted with the other two, namely the Greek and the Eastern. It is argued that the distinguishing feature of the line under study is the concept of common sense. The work traces the history of the development of this philosophical term. For the most part, common sense was developed along the lines of the pragmatic tradition, but it was not limited to it. It is shown that there are two ways of interpreting common sense: scientific-critical and humanistic ways. To bridge the gap between them, the author offers his own version of the consideration of common sense.
