I will conclude the paper by emphasizing the basic function of the existential judgment in all metaphysical knowledge, which in light of the analyses that have been made turns out to be nothing other than the explicit expression of what in actu confuse is already contained in the first cognitive act. Above all, I note that the discovery of the role of the existential judgment in human knowledge provides a rational justification for realism of knowledge, and thereby it refutes the grounds for sceptical, agnostic, and relativistic positions in epistemology<\/p>\n<h4>Key words:<\/h4>\n<p>Existence, judgment, being, knowledge<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Full Text&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;off&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/revistaespiritu.istomas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Dialnet-TheRoleOfExistentialJudgmentsInKnowingTheExistence-4885199.pdf&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.92&#8243; \/][et_pb_text background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[yuzo_related]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_sidebar orientation=&#8221;right&#8221; area=&#8221;sidebar-1&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; remove_border=&#8221;off&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; show_border=&#8221;on&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this paper I am going to focus on describing the character and role of the cognitive acts whereby we apprehend the existence of beings.
