Images and imagination in philosophy and politics: a study of Plato's divided line
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Les images et l'imagination sont épistémologiquement et politiquement importantes à l'image de la ligne divisée que Platon fait présenter par Socrate à la fin du livre VI de la République (509d1-511e6). L'argument développé ci-dessous avance que la double nature des images et de l'imagination permet de révéler certains aspects de la théorie des formes de Platon. L'argument soutient aussi que, selon Platon, les images jouent un rôle important dans le processus de formation initial des idées et opinions éthiques et politiques. Ceci implique que la ligne divisée en tant qu'image elle-même est offerte par Platon en guise de tentative d'altérer nos idées (c'est-à-dire nos 'imaginations') éthiques et politiques, et de nous pousser à quitter l'état de somnolence rêveuse dans lequel nos nous imaginons que les images sont tout ce qui existe en politique, vers l'idée de bien comme modèle à suivre lors de nos jugements.

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.
