Abstract 

The exercise of judgment requires a combination of autonomy/activity (I make up my mind for myself) and heteronomy/passivity (my judgment is determined by the evidence). From Maimon to McDowell, theorists of judgment have seen a tension between these two moments or aspects of judgment; an adequate theory of judgment must resolve this antinomial tension. I take a lead from Theodor Lipps, who proposed that judgment should be understood as an intentional comportment, and from Henry Fonda, whose 1957 film, Twelve Angry Men, undertook a careful study of the judgmental comportment of twelve fictional New York jurors. I argue that the antinomy of judgment can be resolved in a distinctive comportment, which itself involves a distinctive teleological exercise of the imagination. I apply the results of this analysis in interpreting data from an interview-based study investigating the exercise of judgment under conditions of schizophrenic delusion.
