Abstract
Forty years ago, in a letter to Père Jean Daniélou, Jacques Viard singled out Pierre Leroux (1797–1871) from among ‘those poor excommunicates to whom we owe so much and with whom I hope that we will finally settle accounts’. With the publication of this book, which, its title notwithstanding, dwells almost exclusively on Leroux and his intellectual fortunes, the professor emeritus of the University of Provence and the founder-president of the Association des Amis de Pierre Leroux (39 rue Emeric-David, 13100 Aix-en-Provence) has amply discharged his debt. Leroux deserves the attention. Introducer in 1834 of the term socialisme into France, he was a prolific writer and was possessed of an encyclopaedic turn of mind. Subjects of his works ranged from philosophy ( La réfutation de l’éclectisme [1839]) to politics ( De la ploutocratie ou du gouvernement des riches [1842]), from religion ( Du christianisme et de son origine démocratique [1836–1838]) to economics ( Malthus et les économistes [1845–1846]). Like other ‘utopian’ socialists, Leroux provided a scathing picture of life in his day, which he presented as based on inequalities of wealth and opportunity. The situation cried out for what Péguy was to call a révolution intérieure , in other words, a massive conversion to the living kernel of Christianity: the inalienable equality of all human beings.

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.
