I value practical reason above all - Practical reason is (for me) the source of all value, in itself unconditionally good. / My choice of practical reason for this role I owe to Kant, 4:428-29. / The axiological terms that follow I take terms from Korsgaard. : see https://www.jstor.org/stable/2381067 / Christine M. Korsgaard, 1986. *Aristotle and Kant on the source of value.* Ethics 96.3, p. 488. - While practical reason has uses, it gains no value thereby. - All the utility of practical reason is valuable only insofar as ultimately it furthers practical reason. + Simplify and strengthen: supreme valuation would suffice and be more robust. + Note that the Stoics also place supreme value on practical reason. / See Irwin, *The development of ethics*, vol.
