This reflection provides a critical analysis of the concept of "common sense" and its standing within philosophical discourse. The author rejects the notion that common sense should serve as the primary foundation for philosophical inquiry. Instead, common sense is described as a sediment of ancient philosophical systems and myths that have solidified over time within the general consciousness. What is perceived today as self-evident was originally a complex conceptual construct that had to be formulated before becoming widely accepted. Thus, common sense unconsciously preserves pre-conceptual and mythical modes of thinking that genuine philosophy must challenge. As a discipline rooted in reflection, philosophy should not accept these established truths blindly but must approach them with critical caution. Since reflection inherently requires an object to examine, these ingrained thought structures provide the necessary material for philosophical work. Philosophy must therefore investigate these apparent certainties to move beyond the limitations of habitual thinking and achieve a more profound understanding of reality.
