Review Quotes:
"Redekop does an excellent job of distilling 2500 years of the history of common sense down to a manageable form. He provides a unique take on this concept within the history of ideas. Scholars and educated laypersons alike will find his work compelling. The book is particularly fitting for this particular time in history as science and the broader culture attempt to find common ground."--Robert M. McManus, McCoy Professor of Leadership and Communication, The McDonough Center for Leadership and Business at Marietta College, Ohio
