Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Virginia, 2005.

Contemporary developments suggest there is a crisis of judgment at various levels in American education. In an effort to examine and respond to this crisis, this dissertation presents a philosophical analysis of judgment. Judgment involves three elements---subject, object, and standard---and often proceeds as the activity of categorization. Standards are applied by a subject in order to classify elements of experience seen as objects. Indeed, standards (or rules) often serve to objectify experience, categorizing, and individuating the multifarious stream of experience into manageable elements. Many of the disturbing trends for judgment in education are caused by seeing these elements of judgment as fixed entities. This work argues, to the contrary, that judgment, and the elements it employs, are best seen as functions, defined by their place in activity and their relations with one another. Using the work of Catherine Elgin and John Dewey, among others, this dissertation develops a functional/relational account of judgment. It then applies this account to some contemporary educational issues, such as admission standards, and suggests ways in which the cultivation of judgment could be made an educational goal.
