Sumario:In this article, a judgmental orientation is proposed as a complement in general semantics to extensional and intensional orientations. A judgmental orientation might contribute to reducing confusion and advancing enlightenment in public and private life. Human beings judge and are judged from the cradle to the grave.

Efforts are made in this article to provide ways and means for dealing efficiently with the judgmental in its multitudinous manifestations.
