Theories of Judgment

Wayne Martin traces attempts to develop theories of judgment in British Empiricism the logical tradition stemming from Kant nineteenth-century psychologism recent experimental neuropsychology and the phenomenological tradition associated with Brentano Husserl and Heidegger. His reconstruction of vibrant but largely forgotten nineteenth-century debates links Kantian approaches to judgment with twentieth-century phenomenological accounts. He also shows that the psychological logical and phenomenological dimensions of judgment are not only equally important but fundamentally interlinked.
