Reason and Moral Genius

One of the few passages in which Kant devotes attention to Action per se is in his examination, in the 3rd Critique, of Genius, one characteristic of which is its exemplariness.  Now, if he had proceeded to analyze the latter, he might have recognized that to set an example is to universalize, from which he might have concluded that Taste is entailed in Genius.  Likewise, since his Moral Law entails the universalization of a maxim, it can be understood as a formula of Moral Genius, in which Reason functions as the form of Exemplification.  So, Whitehead's observation, that the history of Philosophy is a series of footnotes to Plato, abstracts from Plato's role as a propagator of the example set by the Moral Genius of Philosophy, namely Socrates.
