Common-sense Knowledge

Common-sense knowledge refers to the basic understanding and assumptions about the world that most people naturally hold, such as knowing that water is wet, if you drop something, it will fall, or that touching a hot stove causes a burn. It encompasses everyday gathered facts, intuitive judgments, and contextual understanding that help us navigate daily life efficiently. This knowledge is often taken for granted but is essential for effective communication, reasoning, and decision-making, forming the background against which more specialized information is understood.
