Description

This paper aims to better understand the concept of judgment in the work of Hannah Arendt. To investigate Arendt's view of judgment, I briefly begin in section 1 with a consideration of a situation which meets the conditions and the occasion demanding judgment-the case of Japanese atomic policy, which is a perfect example of a judgment situation. Next, I will examine in section 2 Arendt's concept of the world of appearance in her The Life of the Mind which deals with the acting field of judgment, the judged object and the judging agent side-by-side. Finally, I will describe the moment from which Arendt was introduced to considering the concept of judgment via Karl Jaspers' The Great Philosophers, after which she started to build the concept of judgment by herself.
