Considered Judgment by Catherine Z. Elgin
The work defends a view of judgment as a reflective, constructive achievement in which intellectual and aesthetic values—coherence, simplicity, richness, explanatory power, and exemplification—play essential roles alongside truth and evidence; understanding, not merely justified true belief, is central to epistemic appraisal. It argues that examples, models, and representations can embody and convey cognitive virtues, and that good judgment emerges from bringing these virtues into balance through critical reflection rather than from rigid rules of justification.
