Experimental Reason and Technology

With the advantage of greater historical hindsight, Kant might have characterized the inspiration of Galileo and Copernicus as leading him to seek not merely motion in the spectator, but action.  For, Experimental Reason entails not merely the entertainment of objects, but the controlled construction of events, as well.  So, with access to the later bountiful evidence of the technological fruits of the insights of those ingenious scientists, Kant might have better appreciated the systematic connection, entailed by Experimental Reason, between Theoretical Reason and Practical Reason.  He might also have noted that absent the question 'What if I were to act on that maxim?', his Principle of Pure Practical Reason remains an empty logical computation.
