Judgement
The Judgment
From Webster Dictionary:
JUDGEMENT is an act of judging; decision; sentence; good sense.
VI. THE JUDGMENT
To judge is a vague content of knowledge without an encounter.
Example: I may say that “he” is “intelligent” and someone else also said “he is intelligent”.
This judgment should be provided by a qualifier to determine the judgement.
The use of:
“he” as pronoun/subject
“is” as verb
“intelligent| as predicate
Thus the judgment is also the expression of the fact that the subject belongs to the extension of the predicate
THE NECESSITY OF MANY JUDGMENTS
Judgment does not merely express the comprehension of the subject by means of a predicate but many judgments need an encounter in an act of “knowing”.
In the example: “Peter is mortal”, “Peter is intelligent” –it showed many judgments to express the encounter.
In the example “Peter is Peter” –this shows vagueness .
This shows TAUTOLOGY-is a way to express something by repeating or saying it in a different way

THE VERBAL Copula “Is”
The judgment is not only a dismemberment of the encounter which is knowledge.
Example: “This is heavy”
The JUDGMENT, therefore, not only expresses the subject’s comprehension in a concept, but also places the subject under the predicate’s extension and in addition, declares that the subject and the predicate are identical in the terminus of the encounter
In Mathematical Expression:
Line A = Line B does not mean that it is not a judgment.
Mathematical expressions are also judgment through formula.
Every judgment , however states an identity.
Kind of “Translations” is necessary to reveal the declaration of identity contained in mathematical statements.

    Validity and Soundness

    Symbolic notation and truth tables are great tools to identify validity. In argument 1, the statement that Socrates has corrupted the youth can be abbreviated as ‘Y’. The statement that either his young followers will accuse him or their relatives will accuse him can be translated as – either ‘F’ or ‘R’. In the second argument, the statement that death is dreamless sleep can be abbreviated as ‘D’. The statement death is a migration of the soul to some other place can be abbreviated as ‘M’ and the statement that there is reason to fear death can be abbreviated as ‘F’. When one translates statements into symbolic notation, one must be concerned not to associate with the expressions of the English language; the letters or symbols should be in the purest form of its definition. Symbolic notation is a great time-saver in argumentation. It prevents logical confusion especially when dealing with complex arguments.…

    Although distinctions similar to Kant’s a priori–a posteriori distinction and his synthetic–analytic distinction have been made by thinkers such as Hume and Leibniz, Kant is the first to apply two such distinctions to generate a third category for knowledge. Hume, for instance, does not distinguish between what Kant calls the analytic and the a priori and what he calls the synthetic and the a posteriori, so that, for Hume, all synthetic judgments are necessarily a posteriori. Since only a priori truths have the important qualities of being universal and necessary, all general truths about reality—as opposed to particular observations about unconnected events—must be a priori. If our a priori knowledge is limited to definitional analytic judgments, then Hume is right in concluding that rationally justified knowledge of universal and necessary truths is impossible. Kant’s coup comes in determining that synthetic judgments can also be a priori. He shows that mathematics and scientific principles are neither analytic nor a posteriori, and he provides an explanation for the category of the synthetic a priori by arguing that our mental faculties shape our…
