Common Sense in Evolutionary Perspective
In respect to the topic of Common Sense, two important insights deserve attention: (1) contrary to the "Standard Social Science Model" (Cosmides-Tooby), there exists something as a universal, panhuman cultural substrate ("meta-culture") that is invariant in respect to time, space or social contingencies ; (2) contrary to the long held orthodoxy about the human mind as a "general purpose machinery", this universal cultural substrate is the result of many functionally specialized, content-dependent, context sensitive and domain-specific mechanisms ("modules") which evolved as adaptations to ancestral environments. While the first hypothesis is relatively unproblematic, the second deserves special attention. In particular, there seems to be a problem about the coordination and integration of the diverse common sense generating mechanisms. Short of a solution to this problem, the scientist of mind faces difficulties in integrating the two hypotheses in a unique theory.
