Abstract
The purpose of this article is to critically evaluate the contemporary implications of “sensus communis,” a common sentiment that leads to democratic communication and consensus in society. This study confirms that our sense of sensus communis depends more on “techno-sense” mediated by so-called digital media technology over time. Techno-sense is a society‘s technological sentiment embodied in human bodies and a socially accumulated density or texture of technology. Specifically, this article observes the historical trend of technological sensitivity as an example, stressing that technological sensitivity is part of and the key to achieving sensus communis in society. In particular, this paper notes that, as non-face-to-face and ‘untact’ communication relations are emphasized along with the phase of COVID19, there have been more problems with the community and political empathy and solidarity. In conclusion, this paper proposes to establish a method for intervention that re-appropriates contemporary intact and automatic technology with the value of conviviality in order to cultivate sensus communis in society.
