Judgement principle

The thought and judgement principle the Spirit (intellect), the "I-Consciousness" and the personal will is the Human Being in us. 

Nettesheim understands by reason, divine reason, the principle of understanding and wisdom. With reason, he understands the thought and judgement principle. That understanding becomes prominent in a certain part of his "Secret Philosophy," when he writes ... 

In principle this speaks of an endorsement of the process, but based on my personal involvement in RO operations, these "operations" reports are not quite satisfactory. My remarks here should not be construed as critical of the performance of the systems, or the technology. They only express my sentiment to the effect that if there were more detailed information available it would materially enhance the potential user s ability to decide for himself on the virtues of the process, and provide a strong growth Impetus. Also, I feel that today there are no accepted standards either for judgement or for comparison of seawater RO system performance. 

The discussion on the balance of the risks versus benefits should spell out explicitly any reasoning and scientific principles used in arriving at the final judgement. 

The danger is that we all have a propensity to elevate our inclinations into principles - that is to say we kid ourselves. It needs a fine judgement sometimes to tell the difference between genuine principle and spurious rationalization. 

As already mentioned in Chapter 1, there are mainly three geometries suitable for the measurement of flow birefringence, viz. those of the concentric cylinder apparatus, the adapted cone-and-plate apparatus and the slit-capillary with a rectangular cross-section. The general principles of the pertinent techniques have been described in the same chapter. The purpose of the present chapter is to give details of the design and construction in order to enable the reader to form a judgement as to the efficiency of the proposed methods, i.e. the relation between information and experimental effort. 

Data are thus considered to be any information that contributes to, or is relevant to, a particular exposure assessment.3 The term encompasses not just numerical values or estimates, but also information provided in other forms, such as default values adopted for regulatory purposes, theory developed from first principles or basic science, computer programs, surveys, demographic data, census information, graphs, mathematical formulae, subjective expert judgements and descriptive summaries. More detail on the diversity of information that contributes to exposure assessment may be found in the other IPCS risk assessment documents, shown in Figure 1 (IPCS, 2000, 2004, 2005 Part 1 of this document). 

As discussed in the previous sections, transparency is essential for making judgements about the appropriateness, accuracy and integrity of data for use in an exposure assessment. Transparency can help provide the documentation for an analyst to identify and characterize variability and uncertainty. It allows sufficient documentation for risk assessors, decisionmakers or stakeholders to reproduce an analysis or conduct sensitivity analyses using alternative data, knowledge or principles as inputs. 

To make a judgement on medicine and choice of dose in an individual patient with a certain type of liver dysfunction, one must often return to first principles to make an educated guess. The aim of this book is therefore ... 

The validation of the test methods is, of course, of interest also to the accreditation bodies. The principle to be applied should be that the laboratory describes the way it is validating the test methods and the accreditation body should make the judgement if the procedure used is acceptable in that case. The different validation possibilities are built up around... 

It is commonly recommended [e.g. 2, 28-30] that a number of characteristics such as selectivity/specificity, limits of detection and quantitation, precision and bias, linearity and working ranges be considered as criteria for analytical performance and evaluated in the course of an validation study. In principle, they need to be compared to some standard based on this, judgement is made as to whether the procedure under issue is capable of meeting the specified analytical requirements, that is to say, whether a method is fit-for-purpose [28]. 

The Spirit is the Judgement and the Will-Principle within us the Soul is the Feeling and the Conception- Principle and the Body is the implementing or the acting-principle, the Executive Organ. One without the other is powerless.
