In a post this morning, Andrew Kern makes some thought provoking statements about judgment. He say in part:
Thus I judge, to conclude this post, though, I trust, not these reflections, that to reduce judgment to the status of an act of intellect only is a reduction against which the intellect will cry out its own judgement that you have committed an act of injustice.
In other words, judging rightly is not merely an intellectual act. It is personal.
To conclude, the path to wisdom begins with attentive perception, climbs the mountains of comparison, and, after painstaking labor, it arrives at the pinnacle of sound judgment, from which it can perceive with the soul all the beauties of the cosmos. To climb this mountain is to absorb its power into oneself.
Read the whole reflection here.
And as an aside: no, I did not misspell judgement here. This is how it is spelled in England still. And it ought to be spelled that way here, in order to explain the soft sound of the "g". So I judge it correct to hold on to this spelling!
