JUDGMENT

It is the act by which the intellect pronounces upon the agreement or disagreement between two ideas, which the
mind has formed and compared. The expressions of judgments are called propositions.

Thinking is carried on by means of judgments. Hence, it is justified to declare that judgment is the basic thought-
process. As a second act of the intellect, judgment largely depends on ideas – the building blocks or the foundation
of knowledge.

LOGICAL TRUTH & FALSITY OF JUDGMENT

Judgment is always either true or false.

1. TRUE JUDGMENT
• A judgment is said to be true when it affirms what is, that is, when the judgment recognizes the real relationship
between two realities. In other words, true judgment is when the intellect agrees with and perceives the actual
relationship of two realities.

For example: when an antibiotic is actually a medicine, then the judgment “An antibiotic is a medicine” is true.

2. FALSE JUDGMENT
• A judgment is said to be false when the minds deviates from and does not reflect the actual relationship between
two realities. When the mind does not express and is not in agreement with the actual relationship of the external
realites, judgment is false.

In the case of previous example, when an antibiotic is actually a medicine, then the judgment “An antibiotic is a
medicine” is false.
