Abstract: This response essay overviews the timely interventions of Michael W. Clune’s A Defense of Judgment , which was published amid a larger sociopolitical crisis in expert judgment. Clune productively develops an account of the specialized nature of literary expertise. However, this essay also asks whether too much force is attributed to the logic of the market, and it similarly questions the vision of the public implicit to Clune’s model of literary studies.
摘要：这篇回应文章概述了迈克尔-W-克吕尼（Michael W. Clune）的《为判断辩护》（A Defense of Judgment）一书的及时介入。Clune 对文学专业知识的专业性进行了卓有成效的阐述。然而，这篇文章也提出了一个问题：市场逻辑是否被赋予了过多的力量？

Abstract: I find much to admire in Michael W. Clune’s book A Defense of Judgment . I have some points of disagreement as well. I think the argument concedes too much to the bad idea that political egalitarianism implies a lack of difference among judgments of value. I have reservations about the idea of “expertise” (let alone deference to experts) in philosophy or literary studies. And I believe that Clune’s use of an essay of mine does not accurately portray its content or purpose. Nonetheless I think the book is a powerful and insightful intervention.
摘要：迈克尔-W-克吕尼（Michael W. Clune）的《为判断力辩护》（A Defense of Judgment）一书中有许多值得钦佩之处。我也有一些不同意见。我认为，该书的论点过于倾向于一种错误的观点，即政治平等主义意味着价值判断之间缺乏差异。我对哲学或文学研究中的 "专业知识"（更不用说对专家的尊重）持保留意见。我认为，Clune 对我的一篇文章的使用并没有准确地描述其内容或目的。尽管如此，我还是认为这本书是一个有力而有见地的介入。

Abstract: Aesthetic judgment does not require defense, because moral judgment saturates our language and our experience. In the first part of this essay, I look at the writings of Iris Murdoch, Stanley Cavell, and G. E. M. Anscombe to show how judgments shape our most intimate dealings with the world. In the second part, I examine a strong instance of practical criticism: the writings of Clement Greenberg on Impressionism and Henri Matisse. Greenberg’s Kantian attempt to separate aesthetic judgment from moral judgment breaks down in practice, a testimony to the depth of his engagement with art and the ubiquity of moral judgment.
摘要：审美判断不需要辩护，因为道德判断充斥着我们的语言和经验。在本文的第一部分，我从伊里斯-默多克（Iris Murdoch）、斯坦利-卡维尔（Stanley Cavell）和G.E.M.安斯科姆（G. E. M. Anscombe）的著作入手，说明判断如何塑造我们与世界最亲密的交往。在第二部分中，我研究了一个实践批判的有力实例：克莱门特-格林伯格（Clement Greenberg）关于印象派和亨利-马蒂斯（Henri Matisse）的著作。格林伯格试图将审美判断与道德判断区分开来的康德式做法在实践中被打破，这证明了他对艺术的深入研究以及道德判断的无处不在。

Abstract: This essay appraises Michael W. Clune’s arguments for the importance of literary judgment. It mainly supports Clune’s case but argues that judgment in fact goes deeper and extends further than Clune recognizes.

Abstract: Michael W. Clune argues in A Defense of Judgment that aesthetic education can unleash our capacity to critique our values and transform our preferences and desires. Works of art hold the possibility of self-transcendence and unselfing; expertise in aesthetic judgment enables us to enter into this possibility. But how do we come to want to change what we want within a culture that conceals the value of this practice? Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886) stages how a change of heart in the midst of everyday reality can reorient us to the possibility of a new life.

Abstract: This essay examines an epistemological thread that runs through Michael W. Clune’s A Defense of Judgment . The first half raises worries about Humean judgment, ultimately doubting whether it can vindicate all it has been asked to. The second half argues that expertise can be grounded in fully tacit knowledge, though that fact inevitably—and rightly—introduces outsider skepticism. The explicitness of that tacit knowledge is not a requirement of expertise as such, but rather a contingent feature of the requirements of academic life. But this, among other things, may be what makes literary education a worthy pursuit.

Abstract: In my response to Michael W. Clune’s A Defense of Judgment , I express some reservations about the notion of “community” that Clune invokes when he describes the sort of aesthetic judgment characteristic of a community of experts. More exactly, I ask whether a community focused on works of art and coming into being in a situation determined by modernism in the arts can ever cohere in quite the way that Clune needs it to, whether it can (or should even want to) attain the kind of sureness characteristic of, say, a scientific community.
摘要：在对迈克尔-W-克吕尼的《为判断力辩护》（A Defense of Judgment）一书的回应中，我对克吕尼在描述专家群体所特有的审美判断力时所援引的 "群体 "概念持保留意见。更确切地说，我想问的是，一个专注于艺术作品并在现代主义艺术所决定的情况下产生的群体，是否能够以克鲁尼所需要的方式凝聚在一起，是否能够（或者甚至应该想要）达到比如说科学群体所特有的那种确定性。
