Quote from ‘New Elements (Kaina stoiceia)’

Term: 
Judgment
Quote: 

A judgment is a mental act deliberately exercising a force tending to determine in the mind of the agent a belief in the proposition; to which should perhaps be added that the agent must be aware of his being liable to inconvenience in the event of the proposition’s proving false in any practical aspect.
