Makkreel offers a new interpretation of Immanuel Kant's theory of judgment that clarifies Kant's well-known suggestion that a genuine philosophy is guided by a world-concept (\u003ci\u003eWeltbegriff\u003c\/i\u003e). Makkreel shows that Kant increasingly expands the role of judgment from its logical and epistemic tasks to its reflective capacity to evaluate objects and contextualize them in worldly terms. And Makkreel shows that this final orientational power of judgment supplements the cognition of the understanding with the comprehension originally assigned to reason. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To comprehend, according to Kant, is to possess sufficient insight into situations so as to also achieve some purpose. This requires that reason be applied with the discernment that reflective judgment makes possible. Comprehension, practical as well as theoretical, can fill in Kant's world concept and his sublime evocation of a \u003ci\u003eWeltanschauung\u003c\/i\u003e with a more down-to-earth worldview. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Scholars have recently stressed Kant's impure ethics, his nonideal politics, and his pragmatism. Makkreel complements these efforts by using Kant's ethical, sociopolitical, religious, and anthropological writings to provide a more encompassing account of the role of human beings in the world. The result is a major contribution to our understanding of Kant and the history of European philosophy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf a.
