In An Education in Judgment, philosopher D. N. Rodowick makes the
definitive case for a philosophical humanistic education aimed at
the cultivation of a life guided by both self-reflection and
interpersonal exchange. Such a life is an education in judgment,
the moral capacity to draw conclusions alone and with others, and
in letting one's own judgments be answerable to the potentially
contrasting judgments of others. Thinking, for Rodowick, is an art
we practice with and learn from each other on a daily basis. In
taking this approach, Rodowick follows the lead of Hannah Arendt,
who made judgment the cornerstone of her conception of community.
What is important for Rodowick, as for Arendt, is the cultivation
of "free relations," in which we allow our judgments to be affected
and transformed by those of others, creating "an ever-widening
fabric of intersubjective moral consideration." That is a fragile
fabric, certainly, but one that Rodowick argues is worth pursuing,
caring for, and preserving. This original work thinks with and
beyond Arendt about the importance of the humanities and what "the
humanities" amounts to beyond the walls of the university.
