DOURADO, Ivan Penteado. Common sense and science: a hermeneutic and epistemological analysis of the common sense of opposition. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.70, pp.213-229. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.57154.

Common sense is a polysemic concept, much cited in educational research, but not problematized enough in terms of its developments in the production of scientific knowledge. The choice of this definition may also reveal how the production of knowledge is understood. In the present article, a mapping of educational research on the theme of common sense was carried out, selecting a part of the discussions about the subject, bringing together authors who are identified as belonging to the same matrix of understanding, that is, thinkers who oppose science and common sense. Bourdieu, Nunes, Paty and Bachelard, along with other key researchers on the subject, are retrieved and analyzed theoretically. I propose an analysis of this category through the lens of sociological hermeneutics as proposed by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, aiming to investigate the social consequences for the maintenance of this posture for science currently. Using the methodology of bibliographic review from the analytical perspective of the "conceptual tree", it will be possible to answer the following problematic: what is the epistemological unfolding in the production of knowledge when the researches opt for the adoption of references that work with common sense as knowledge opposed to scientific thought? The main conclusions of the analytical research are the enormous distance from the scientific knowledge produced by society and the fact that a set of difficulties that the social sciences have in achieving this rupture can be perfectly represented in the oppositional positions that the theorists in question keep alive in their discussions.
