 *I notice references saying that Hans Georg Gadamer did a study of this term's history and found Giambattista Vico to be an important turning point. Have not had time to look into it.  
 *I am also not confident about our Locke section. Searching through his works I found that Locke used the term common sense in its every day rhetorical sense and not the scholastic Aristotelian one? Maybe whoever placed mention of him here was saying that Locke's did not use the term but simply had arguments concerning the same philosophical subject matter of perception, which of course he did? 
 *Also I have not looked into the Kant section or the section on more recent philosophy.
