{"product_id":"the-concept-of-political-judgment","title":"The Concept of Political Judgment","description":"What is good political judgment? Is it a science subject to strict standards of logic and inference, or is it more like an art, the product of intuition, feeling, or even chance? Peter J. Steinberger shows how the seemingly contradictory claims of inference and intuition are reconciled in the concept of political judgment.\n\nResting his argument on the larger notion of judgment itself, Steinberger develops an original model of how political judgments are made and how we justify calling some of them \"good.\" His systematic analysis of such thinkers as Machiavelli, Kant, Gadamer, Wittgenstein, and Oakeshott introduces an original notion of judgment as \"intelligent performance,\" incorporating both intuition and rational reconstruction.\n\nSteinberger's conclusion—that a coherent political society must also be a judgmental one—flies in the face of much contemporary thinking.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0226771938\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0226771938.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Steinberger, Peter J.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
