Thou Shalt Judge: The Faculty of Judgement in Moral, Political and Legal Philosophy

Abstract

This panel will further recent debates on the nature and functions of the faculty of judgment by bringing together scholars from political and legal philosophy, international relations and political science. Inspired by, yet not reduced to, Kant's reflections on judgment, a first set of papers will engage theoretical issues about types of judgment, its relationship with rationality and emotion, its physiological pre-requisites and validity conditions. A second set will feature contributions on the role of judgment within concrete contexts. Papers should deal with the ways in which this faculty can be publicly used in interpreting laws, as a response to historical injustice or ongoing genocide, and in decisions over risk, humanitarian intervention, and environmental problems. Building on insights from more theoretical and more applied contributions to the faculty of judgment, new trajectories of research will be delineated in an interdisciplinary spirit.
