Reason, Morality, Internal Dialogue

By introducing verbal formulations--Laws and Maxims--into his Moral doctrine as active elements, Kant converts the Aristotelian struggle between the rational and irrational parts of the soul into an internal dialogue.  But, as has been previously analyzed here, any response to an utterance originates in an irreducible voluntary moment. So, it is that dialogical moment that Kant discovers as the 'freedom' to disobey the Rational Law, thereby undermining any thesis that Reason is a necessary condition of any Freedom.  Nietzsche, perhaps unwittingly, inherits that problem, when he interprets a relation of stronger-weaker as one of command-obey, leaving him without an adequate analysis of Obedience in such contexts, as has been previously discussed here.  So, Kant's innovation only complicates what Aristotle never adequately explains--why the irrational part of the soul submits to the rational part.
