No I think our definitions differ on "common sense" as I think deductive reasoning should be part of common sense.

Deductive reasoning? Are you sure you don't mean inductive reasoning? Deductive reasoning is a form of logic.

There's Deductive, Modal, Mathematical, Computer, Phillosphical... and two or three other forms of logic.

You can disagree but you'd be disagreeing with the definitions of deductive reasoning and logic.

LOL you opinion of me threw your tone continues to make me laugh. You seem to believe I am very stupid and you are very smart. Could it be the other way around?

Semantics is very subjective. Common sense does overlap logic, as it is sense and not believe.

No, i just think your misinformed. Deductive Reasoning is a branch of logic.

There is a problem however that a lot of people who claim to be using deductive reasoning are in fact using inductive reasoning.

If you get rid of all "Common sense", but keep logic you end up getting back the "common sense" that is infact deductivly sound. As for Common sense to be Common sense it has to be deductivly sound.

It's the only way to seperate the wheat from the chaff so to speak.

Common Sense doesn't overlap logic. Logic is what "proves" common sense.

Well the Common sense that is based off of deductive reasoning and other logics. As in the stuff in the vastly overused saying "Common sense isn't so common."

Deductive reasoning isn't anymore a part of Common Sense as Gasoline is part of the car it helps run.

Most people however treat all Common sesne (Aka sense that is common, what most people believe) as if it was deductivly sound... which it isn't.

When you run an expierment you get rid of all Common sense so that you can prove it... and so that you can be sure that what you consider common sense is infact true.

Perferably this is how arguements would go to as it would leave you only with the facts.
