Admired judgement of the average person's view (7,7)
I believe the answer is:
popular opinion
'the average person's view' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'admired judgement' is the wordplay.
'admired' becomes 'popular' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'judgement' becomes 'opinion' (opinion is a kind of judgement).
'popular'+'opinion'='POPULAR OPINION'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for popular opinion that I've seen is " Consensus".)
