From the Flaw in Common-Sense Philosophy to the Essence of Real Truth

Abstract

This Essay starts with the rebuttal argument toward the common-sense philosophy claiming that common-sense knowledge is always overthrown by science. Then, this argument results in a better definition of the common-sense knowledge that makes up the flaw that leads to the previous conflict. By clearing up the definition of common-sense knowledge, this essay also discusses the approach of how people understand this world, which leads the discussion to the essence of “real truth” compared to the truth that society chooses to believe in. While discovering the essence of “real truth”, the common-sense philosophy helps explain why we cannot reach a real truth, and Darwin’s Theory of Evolution contributes to the pattern of the eternal changing of the species, which ends in a conclusion that there might be no real truth at all, and we cannot approach one, but it is still valuable for us to involve in the process of keep seeking for truth.
