Abstract
In his recent work, Thought-Images: Frankfurt School Writer’s Reflections from Damaged Life, Gerhard Richter contends that it is the insight into the aesthetic dimensionality of truth that is the unifying principle holding together the diversity of approaches characteristic of the Frankfurt School thinkers. In this paper, Clifford Lee offers three passages from Kierkegaard’s writing as examples of the type of writing Richter describes as thought-images. These aesthetic constructions are shown to be suggestive of the tense relation Kierkegaard’s thought bears to the idealism it seeks to escape and to serve as illustrations of how this relation plays itself out in the work his writing requires of its reader. Offering Adorno’s first published work, Kierkegaard: Construction of the Aesthetic, as an attempt to construct a thought-image of Kierkegaard, Lee argues for a reciprocity in this project that an understanding of Kierkegaard’s thought-images would grant us an understanding of Adorno’s project that acknowledges the challenge placed upon his readers by the irreducibility of its aesthetic component.

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.
