Sumario:This paper analyzes the notion of common sense in Brazilian sociology textbooks, which usually apply it in the conceptualization of what science is to delimit the place of sociology. We analyzed sociology didatic books that addressed the term “common sense” and explained it, either directly or indirectly. The result of the research pointed out that the indirect definition is based on the Hegelian Zeitgeist, and that the direct definition is based on the revision of the concept in philosophy. In the end, we reflect on the withdrawal and placement of sociology and philosophy in Brazilian school curricula based on the way the concept of common sense has been configured.
