Judgment as the Imagination of Futures: Practical Rationality in Decisions on Complex Issues Reference library

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Political Decision Making
...When we perceive, “we are making judgments about the world, and thereby making sense of it.…To see is to judge—sometimes to the point of radically revising what we actually see” ( Thiele, 2006 , pp. 2–3). This broad situation matches closely Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of perspectivism—the idea that knowledge is not detached, abstract, “objective,” but rather built up through a constant process of engagement with the world ( Cox, 1999 , p. 115).
