The author also delves into the teachings of Muhammad as recorded in the Koran. Robinson explores the great progress of humanity that occurred in these societies when people followed these common-sense practices established in these early scriptures. The author follows the rise of common sense and its fall, which is fully examined in this in-depth look at how modern society has lost much of the common sense way of thinking that led to growth and a better way of life.
This fascinating examination of common sense's development and its relation to the theory of least action proposes that a body will choose a course of action that produces the greatest outcome with the least amount of work. The author effectively traces the history of common sense from its origins in scriptures through the great successes and inventions of societies that embraced common-sense thinking. It is an extensive look at humanity's acceptance of common-sense ideas and adherence to the tenets set forth by prophets and holy men such as Abraham, Mohammed, and Jesus Christ. The author argues that turning away from tenets such as morality, a sense of fairness, and a strong work ethic has led to today's young adults finding themselves less secure financially than their parents. The study is well researched and offers an interesting look at how humanity's adherence to common-sense practices has evolved through the years.
