Quote from ‘Harvard Lectures on Pragmatism: Lecture I’

Term: 
Judgment
Quote: 

Do we not all perceive that judgment is something closely allied to assertion? That is the view that ordinary speech entertains. A man or woman will be heard to use the phrase, “I says to myself.” That is, judgment is held to be either no more than an assertion to oneself or at any rate something very like that.
