Distributive Reason, Totalizing Reason, Convention

The Platonization of the trial of Socrates transforms a critique of conventional interpretations of the concepts of 'impiety' and 'corrupting the youth', into a triumph of Soul over Body.  Likewise, Kant's pitting Totalizing Reason against individual inclination, finds common ground with conventional Deontology.  In contrast, Distributive Reason, which originates examples, is a potentially more effective vehicle of liberation from convention, and, thus, is closer to Socratic than to Platonist Reason.
