In Epistemic Explanations, Sosa continues to defend a model of judgment he has long endorsed. On this complex model of judgment, judgment aims not only at correctness but also at aptness of a kind of alethic affirmation. He offers three arguments for the claim that we need this model of judgment instead of a simpler model, on which judgment aims only at correctness. The first argument cites the need to exclude knowledge-spoiling luck from apt judgment. The second argument uses the complex model to distinguish judgment from mere guessing. The third argument involves the assessment of suspension of judgment as a performance. This paper shows why none of these arguments succeeds, and so recommends adopting the simpler model of judgment.

在《认识论解释》中，索萨继续捍卫他长期以来一直支持的判断模型。在这种复杂的判断模式中，判断不仅针对正确性，还针对一种道德肯定的适当性。他为我们需要这种判断模型而不是更简单的模型提供了三个论点，在该模型上，判断只针对正确性。第一个论点引用了将破坏知识的运气排除在恰当判断之外的必要性。第二个论点使用复杂模型来区分判断和单纯的猜测。第三个论点涉及将暂停判决评估为一种表现。本文说明了为什么这些论点都没有成功，因此建议采用更简单的判断模型。
