Inhaltsangabe

This book shows how we make judgments about the world and how we can improve them. It argues against relying too heavily on the popular opinion of the world, claiming that a collective body can be quick to judge and biased toward refusing to reconsider. The author also argues against relying on our own feelings as a steadfast guide and instead proposes we ground our judgments on religious principle and the esteem of the virtuous and good. The author encourages readers to take seriously the opinions of others, even when they are contrary to our own, and to use those opinions as opportunities to correct any of our own potential foibles. Ultimately, this book advocates for a worldview that centers on religious principles, prudence, moderation, humility, and deference.
