The Philosopher who defended common sense philosophy is
Answer: C
The philosopher who defended common sense philosophy is G.E. Moore, notably in his paper A Defence of Common Sense, where he listed truisms, such as that the earth has existed for many years, which he held to be certain. Berkeley is the idealist who denied matter, Hegel the absolute idealist, and T.H. Green an idealist, so none of them defended common sense in this way. The answer is Moore. Moore's paper lists many things, such as that he has a body and that other people exist, which he says he knows to be true and which philosophical sceptics cannot overturn.
