Faith, Ratiocination, Rational, Reason
No. 112
Judgment. The mind passes a judgment in multitudes of cases where it has learned to judge by perpetual experience, not only exceedingly quick, as soon as one thought can follow another, but absolutely without any reflection at all, and at the same moment without any time intervening. Though the thing is not properly self-evident, yet it judges without any ratiocination, merely by force of habit. Thus when I hear such and such sounds, or see such letters, I judge that such things are signified, without reasoning. When I have such ideas coming in by my sense of seeing, appearing after such a manner, I judge without any reasoning that the things are further off than others that appear after such a manner. When I see a globe I judge it to be a globe, though the image impressed on my sensory is only that of a flat circle appearing variously in various parts; and in ten thousand other cases the ideas are habitually associated together, and they come into the mind together. So likewise in innumerable cases men act, without any proper act of the will at that time commanding, through habit; as when a man is walking, there is not a new act of the will every time a man takes up his foot and sets it down. - WJE 6:373
