Common Sense and the orthodox image of thought

"Many people have an interest in saying that everybody know "this", that everybody recognises this , or that nobody can deny it. ( They triumph easily so long as no surly interlocutor appears to reply that he does not wish to be represented, and that he denies or does not recognize those who speak in his name.)" DR p.166


the most general form of representation is thus found in the element of common sense understood as an upright nature and a good will. (Εύδοξος και ορθόδοξος). p.166


In this sense, conceptual philosophical thought has as its implicit presupposition a pre-philosophical and natural image of thought, borrowed from the pure element of common sense. According to this image, thought has an affinity with the true; it formally possesses the true and materially wants the true. p.167
