Abstract

This paper argues that individual rational judgment, of the kind required for rational justification in empirical knowledge or morals, is in fundamental part socially and historically based, although this is consistent with realism about the objects of empirical knowledge and with strict objectivity about basic moral principles. To judge fully rationally that one judges, and thus to justify one’s judgment rationally, requires recognizing one’s inherent fallibility and hence our mutual interdependence for assessing our own and each others’ judgments and their justification. This provides a pragmatic account of rational justification which dispatches the distinction between “rational” and “historical” knowledge.

Une part fondamentale de la sorte de jugement rationnel individuel requise pour la justification rationnelle dans la connaissance empirique ou en morale a une base sociale et historique. Cette thèse est compatible avec le réalisme en matière d’objets de la connaissance empirique, ainsi qu’avec une stricte objectivité en matière de principes moraux. Juger de manière entièrement rationnelle que l’on juge, et donc justifier rationnellement son jugement, requiert que l’on reconnaisse la faillibilité qui nous est inhérente, et donc notre mutuelle dépendance lorsque nous évaluons nos propres jugements et leur justification ainsi que ceux d’autrui. Ceci rend compte de manière pragmatique de la justification rationnelle qui régit la distinction entre la connaissance «rationnelle» et la connaissance «historique».
