Consider Judgment

Book •
Consider Judgment develops Catherine Z. Elgin's view that epistemic assessment centers on judgment rather than narrow analysis of knowledge as justified true belief.

The book examines how individuals evaluate evidence, reasons, and standards when forming judgments across various domains.

Elgin emphasizes the role of reflective assessment and the ways in which communal practices shape what counts as good judgment.

The work bridges concerns in epistemology with practical reasoning in everyday and scientific contexts.

It lays groundwork for her later focus on understanding and epistemic practices that culminate in subsequent books.
