    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Certainty in the context of immediate judgments must be taken in a subjective sense, not an objective sense

    If immediate judgments possess phenomenological self-evidence as an intentional structure directed at objective states of affairs, then their certainty is constitutively objective, not merely subjective in the psychological sense Bolzano assumes.

    Key Terms

    Bolzano
    Bolzano refers to Bernhard Bolzano (1781–1848), an Austrian mathematician and philosopher who made important discoveries about how functions behave and how infinity works in mathematics. Though his work wasn't widely recognized during his lifetime, he's now considered a pioneer who helped lay the groundwork for modern calculus and logic. His most famous contribution is the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, a fundamental principle in mathematics that helps us understand continuous functions and infinite sequences.
    Certainty(Rosmini, NE, vol. 3, 1044)
    A firm and reasonable persuasion that conforms to the truth; a characteristic of the person who knows
    Constitutively(describing how common knowledge relates to rationality)
    As an essential or necessary part of something; something that helps make that thing what it is.
    Immediate judgments(as used in epistemology)
    Beliefs or conclusions we reach directly and without working through a chain of reasoning.
