Abstract

The article discusses the concept of sensus non-communis as a response to the limitations of universalist paradigms like sensus communis in the Western tradition. It explores how sensus non-communis offers a way to think beyond exclusions and inclusions, opening up new forms of connection and community. The text delves into historical perspectives on sensus communis by authors like Shaftesbury and Kant, highlighting the shift towards a more radical and uncertain sensus communis aestheticus in Kant's work. The contributions in the article examine sensus non-communis in various contexts, from literature to political theory, emphasizing its potential to challenge normative claims and open up new possibilities for understanding commonality and community.
