Abstract
Fides et ratio is an encyclical of great scope and depth that provides an occasion for discussing any number of important issues. What I shall do is more modest and, I think, not wholly devoid of philosophical interest; I intend to muse on a remark found in paragraph 4 of Fides et ratio, namely, that there is an "implicit philosophy" held by all that provides a reference-point for the rival philosophical systems. My remarks will allude to Common Sense Philosophy, with particular reference to Pere Buffier and to Anti-foundationalism, for reasons which, if not already obvious, will emerge.
