Abstract
In Foucault and Religion, Carrette presents the reader with an impressive study in which he attempts to locate and unearth a 'religious question' running throughout the margins of Foucault's writings.This work acts as a corrective to writers who, in Carrette's opinion, unsuccessfully bring Christian theology into conversation with Foucauldian themes of mysticism, spiritualism, and the "unthought."The angle, then, from which Carrette approaches Foucault's 'religious question' is one that seeks to reposition traditional religious ontology into a non-binary "space of the body and the politics of the subject." 1 Drawing attention to Foucault's own suggestion in 1963 that there "may be a religious question" throughout his work Carrette argues that if such a question exists it is one that radically alters the "traditional contours in the philosophy of religion." 2 This remapping of religion eclipses the notion of a religious transcendence to one that is wholly immanent.The book is divided into seven chapters.Much like the introduction, the first chapter familiarizes the reader with Foucault's writings by giving an overview of his oeuvre.In this chapter Carrette traces some of the important thematic developments of the 'religious question' in Foucault's archaeological thinking (1954-69), genealogical work (1970-5), and explicit discussion of Christianity in the History of Sexuality (1976-84).It is in chapter two, however, where Carrette begins to substantiate the book's thesis.He writes: "In order to bring some coherence to these ideas I wish to hold these fragments [religious ideas] together by framing them within Foucault's discussion of 'the said as much as the unsaid.'" 3Carrette maps the "said" and "unsaid" around the two pillars confession and silence, respectively.Instead of conceptualizing the confession and silence as binary opposites he continues to write, "paradoxically, in a non-binary system Foucault's examination of the confession was also the

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
