judgement
The critical faculty whereby we assess the truth of claims, an application of, or the result of applying this faculty.
in formal logic
in some formal logics the theorems of the system are called judgements and there may be a single form of judgement (as in Frege's Begriffsschrift, where a judgement always takes the form of the assertion, using a vertical bar, of a content formed using a horizontal bar), or multiple forms (as, for example, in the contructive type theories of Per Martin Löf).
justify
Show the justice or rightness of.
justification
that which justifies (or warrant's)
in epistemology
knowledge may be explained or defined as "justified true belief", in which case the question what (if anything) counts as justification of a claim to knowledge becomes a central problem
