On common sense, communicability, and community

Eli Friedlander

pp. 407-424

Friedlander argues that the account of common sense is internally related to the elaboration of the universal voice and the problem of communicability of feeling. Taken together they establish the framework for a logic of exemplification: the ideal character of the universal voice is possible only on the ground of the natural character of common sense, and conversely, the possibility of recognizing a natural ground of the meaningful articulations of our world emerges only by taking upon oneself to occupy the higher standpoint that does not yet exist, to represent the idea of universal agreement in taste.
