Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

INTRODUCTION Ludwig Wittgenstein’s depiction of pedagogical scenes are increasingly prominent in his later writing and in the secondary literature surrounding it. This essay offers a synoptic view of the role teaching and learning examples play in Wittgenstein’s later philosophic method, seeing them as a “pedagogical way of doing philosophy.” For the philosopher of education, I pose the challenge of not fetishizing the scenes of instruction. “A poet’s words can pierce us,” Wittgenstein reminds us, because of “the way in which, comfortable to this use, we let our thoughts roam up and down in the familiar surroundings of the words.” His preoccupation with “teach,” “learn,” “train,” “education,” and “pupil” draws us in when reading these scenes, partly obscuring their philosophical significance.

Not 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.
