The concept of judgment has occupied a place of special importance
in the tradition of Western thought. In antiquity and especially in
the Enlightenment, judgment served as the rubric under which
Western thinkers struggled to come to terms with how the world of
human concerns is constituted in thought and, perhaps more
important, how humans call for timely and appropriate actions.
Recently, judgment has again emerged as a highly contestatory site
for philosophical, rhetorical, and cultural reflection and
inquiry.This book puts into contact a variety of responses to the
question of judgment in a postmodern age, seeking out the question
of how, once solid ground is pulled out from underneath the
position of the judge, one continues to "tread" judgment, to meet
obligations while remaining afloat.The essays in this edited volume
investigate judgment as a rhetorical problem to be discussed
philosophically and examines the standards by which judgments are
made and can be made in contemporary culture. The essays clarify
the links between rhetoric and judgment as they are played out on
public and meta-critical levels.
