The book explores the role of human thinking in language, emphasizing that judgments are essential logical-normative connections among concepts. Abele argues that understanding judgments requires acknowledging cognitive conditions beyond mere empirical or social analyses. He draws on Kantian philosophy to highlight the transcendental aspects of judgments, linking them to perceptual syntheses that represent a unity governed by rules. This interplay suggests that both judgments and perceptions are foundational to rational thought, with implications for understanding human cognition.
