Catherine Elgin writes clearly and engagingly. She is masterful in providingtelling examples pithy metaphors and apt juxtapositions to make her points. Ienjoyed and profited from reading Considered Judgment and I think othersboth in and out of philosophy will too.Robert Schwartz University ofWisconsinMilwaukee Considered Judgment contains a detailed defense of asophisticated and novel view of basic epistemology as well as perceptivecriticism of leading alternative views. Catherine Elgins discussion of theepistemological significance of emotion metaphor and fiction will alsointerest many readers. The book contains a unique epistemological position thatdeserves serious consideration by specialists in the subject.Bruce AuneUniversity of Massachusetts «
