Distributive Reason, Moral Copernican Revolution, Heliocentrism

Children imitate adults; adults serve as examples for children.  In other words, moral development entails a transition from Mimesis to Examplification.  So, as the expression "shining example" suggests, if there is a Moral 'Copernican revolution' to a heliocentric model of Rational conduct, it is to Distributive Reason, in which Reason sets examples, in the same way that the Sun distributes light throughout its system.  Accordingly, Autonomous Deontology, e. g. Kant's doctrine, constitutes an  incomplete stage of such a revolution.
