Judgment Calls (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book puts into contact a variety of responses to the question of judgment in a postmodern age, seeking out the question of how, once solid ground is pulled out from underneath the position of the judge, one continues to 'tread' judgment, to meet obligations while remaining afloat.
