Related words in other languages include Latin sensus communis, Greek κοινὴ αἲσθησις , and French bon sens, but these are not straightforward translations in all contexts. All these meanings of "common sense", including the everyday one, are inter-connected in a complex history and have evolved during important political and philosophical debates in modern western civilisation, notably concerning science, politics and economics. Today, the concept of common sense, and how it should best be used, remains linked to many of the most perennial topics in epistemology and ethics, with special focus often being upon the philosophy of the modern social sciences.
