Reason, Examplification, Pluralism
'Distributive Reason' can be defined as a process in which a singular entity becomes a universal by virtue of inspiring imitations, e. g. an archetype. It is, thus, a pluralizing process. Now, the concept of Examplification, i. e. the concept of the process of setting an example, entails that of inspiring imitations. Thus, Examplification is a process in which Reason pluralizes. In contrast, Kant's concept of Reason, which can merely constrain individual behavior, on the grounds of inconsistency, lacks any inherently Pluralistic factor.
