AIM I N G  \nOM MON  \nS EN S E  \n17754.00  \nFINDING T RUTH I N APOST-TRUTH WORLD  \nROBERT CURRY  \nWITH A FOREWORD BY BRIAN T.KENNEDY  \n\"  \n10.7-19  \n# Praise forRECLAIMING COMMON SENSE\n\nIn the modern intellectual climate,the basic rationalityof common sense has been unsettled,and sometimesaltogether eclipsed,by dreamworld ideologies and per-sonal “truths”asserted in defiance of elementary facts ofexperience.The revolt against common sense has movedbeyond the universities to take hold of our political andcultural institutions,in coercive government policiesand public shaming.Against the feverish assault,Rob-ert Curry sounds a note of cool sanity,presenting com-mon sense in simple (though not simplistic)terms andillustrating it in living color.For level-headed readersdisoriented by the craziness,this little book will be abracing tonic.  \nScoTT PHILIP SEGREST  \nAssociate Professor of Political Science at The Citadeland author of Amerieaand the PoliticalPhilosophy of Conmon Sense  \nIn his second companion volume about common sense,Robert Curry again reminds us that our leisured andaffluent society periodically dismisses the fundamentalWestern way of knowledge that ensures our collectivesuccess.Or at least it says it does in its periodic relativ-ist,romantic,and emotional flirtations with thoughtsthat are not grounded in reality.This book is a much-needed reminder in our postmodern age that whatworks and what we perceive to be real are alone real.  \nVICTOR DAVIs HANSON  \nSenior Fellow at the Hoover Institution,Stanford University,and author of The Second World Wars:How the First Global ConflictWas Fought and Won  \nIn his entertaining,insightful,and highly literate newbook,Robert Curry gives the“superpower”that is com-mon sense its proper due.Here's hoping that membersof the political class read Curry's book,and in so doingfind within themselves the humble qualities that mightcause them to do less so that we the people can do more.  \nJoHN TAMNY  \nVice President of FreedomWorks  \nWhat Robert Curry started simply and beautifully inCommon Sense Nation he continues in Reclaiming Com-mon Sense:the revival,defense,and application of theprinciples needed to save America and Westerncivilization.  \nRyan P.Williams  \nPresident of the Claremont Instituteand Publisher of the Claremont Review of Books  \nHaving recovered in Common Sense Nationthe importantrole of common sense in the nation's founding,RobertCurry has written a thoughtful,passionate analysis ofthe social and political ills that have followed the aban-donment of common sense in our country's culture.Fromappeasement of jihadism to the follies of self-selectedgender identities,Curry provides a powerful,must-readwarning of the dangers to our principles of self-government and our political freedom by neglecting\"common sense realism\"in our policies both at homeand abroad.  \nBRUCE S.THORNTON
