that it equipped mankind with the capability to know when it is proper to utilize these judgments. In connecting the links between ways of knowing and instinctive judgments, it will be made apparent the great extent to which they are intertwined as they often work to prevent some of humanities faltering characteristics. By viewing ways of knowing such as reason and imagination as a check on our instinctive judgments, we not only find that we can logically…

Judgments can tear families apart. Judgment can choose whether one will die or live to see the light of the next day. These accusations are based on whether the prosecutor regards the subject as not guilty or guilty, good or evil. I believe that everyone is evil, stained by society and their own choices. Most agree that people are evil, but do not believe it to this extent because people in reality are not this dramatic. A lot of people are simply cruel, or liars, at the most, violent. However,…

In the Critique of Judgment, Immanuel Kant debunks the idea that beauty is an objective property. To achieve this, he distinguishes between the pleasure on the soul that agreement, goodness, and beauty evoke. In Kant’s views, by claiming something is beautiful, you are not stating a property of the objective but more so the subjective, what the subject feels about the object. Unlike Hume and Burke of the empiricists, who have an experience of liking when they express something as beautiful, Kant…

The Creation of Adam was the most exemplary scene on the Sistine ceiling of the nine scenes. Michelangelo created his image of God creating man and the world. Another well-known Sistine work was the Last Judgment on the wall behind the church altar.

Artists like Michelangelo Buonarroti and Hieronymus Bosch were and still are very famous for their works. In this essay, I will discuss “The Last Judgment” done by both Michelangelo and Bosch. Michelangelo was from Italy and was considered to be the most famous painter of the Italian renaissance period as he was very intelligent and was considered to be a “genius”. On the other hand, Bosch was…

there has been much dispute between philosophers and psychologists who emphasized the part of reason and thought in moral judgment (e.g. Kant, 1785/2002), and those who assert that moral judgments are motivated by emotional progressions (e.g. Hume, 1888/2012). These contrasting founding principles are still evident in modern day approaches of psychological research on moral judgment and emotional dilemmas, with assertions still being made that moral codes provide rational rules for behaviour.…

In civil cases, a judgment determines the respective rights and claims of the parties involved. In criminal cases, judegment includes the pronouncement of guilt (or its absence) and, if the defendant is convicted, the sentence. A judgment may also include the reason in forming the basis of the court's decision. It may be cited as an authority, and treated as a precedent for…

In the article “Don’t Let Stereotypes Warp Your Judgment” by Robert L. Heilbroner, Heilbroner argues that we, as people, are too quick to judge others. He makes a point at the beginning of his article that we judge people based off of stereotypes that society produces. We don’t realize that we are making these judgments, but based on statistics, most Americans would describe “suspicious characters” as “dark and foreign-looking”. We as Americans treat stereotypes similar to gossip. We spread…

Someone that has a certain view or opinion on something has had a experience with something and has either enjoyed it or did not, but there is going to be bias towards the topic or on the subject later in life if they were to ever be put in the same situation again. There will not be agreements every second and minute of the day because each person has different worldviews and different perspectives…
