Written by theologians, literary scholars, political theorists, classicists, and philosophers, the essays in Judgment and Action address the growing sense that certain key concepts in humanistic scholarship have become suspect, if not downright unintelligible, amid the current plethora of critical methods. These essays aim to reassert the normative force of judgment and action.

Judgment and Action is a collection of thirteen original multidisciplinary essays that aim to rethink the concepts of judgment and action in philosophy and the humanities in order to restore their normative force and restore a consistent framework for understanding them.
