Abstract
It is argued that there is a non‐technical common‐sense view of surfaces that virtually all of us share. This view stands in complicated relationships to the sorts of accounts of surfaces found in mathematics and in various sciences, being in certain ways the bases for these technical analyses, but also containing information about the world that is different from anything to be found in mathematics and the sciences.Keywords
