Theory, Practice, Techne

Kant himself betrays his subordination of Theoretical Reason to Practical Reason.  For, in his Third Critique, presumably designed to synthesize the first two, Theory regains the ascendancy.  This status is plainly expressed in general by the focus on Judgment, and, specifically, when he subordinates Genius to Taste.  If, instead, the synthesis retained the primacy of Practice, then the resultant combination would be Technical Reason, i. e. how Theory guides Action.  Likewise, if Taste were incorporated into Artistic Creativity, then the resultant combination would be Technical Reason.  From there, Kant might later have recognized the role of Technical Reason in his brief consideration of the concept of Organism, rather than merely analyzing the cognitive grounds of the concept.  And, it might not be until nearly the end of Dewey's career that the Pragmatism that is inspired by Kant's Practical concern even considers Art as a mode of active Experience.
