Productive Reason and Unproductive Reason

As has been previously discussed, an alternative to the traditional Theoretical Reason-Practical Reason contrast is that of Productive Reason vs. Unproductive Reason.  Thus, for example, both sides of the former contrast are subsumed under Unproductive Reason.  Now, Productive Reason can be either immediate or mediate, with the former variety, e. g. a thought that directly actualizes its content, seemingly no more than an abstract possibility, e. g. the capacity of a deity.  But, an example of mediate Productive Reason is familiar--Techne, the product of which can be both concrete action and a product of that action, e. g. knowing how to build a house.  So, whether or not Techne is inferior to Deduction, i. e. a contingent concrete result, to a necessary propositional conclusion, as it has usually been judged to be since Aristotle, depends on which between Productive Reason and Unproductive Reason is the superior process.
