Le rapport à la <i>causa sui</i>: de Plotin à Descartes par la médiation du débat entre Ficin et Pic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The conceptual innovation of the causa sui is supposed to have originated with Descartes, according to Marion. Narbonne claims to find it in Plotinus. By considering both the Ficinian resurgence of the corpus of Plotinus and the debate between Ficino and Pico, the history of this innovation may be traced and the essential epistemological issue identified. The latter varies according to the way in which the intellect is integrated with reason and humanized as a function of its relation, hitherto so changeable, with respect to the causa sui itself, as well as the metaphysical principle that grounds it: the One, Being, or indeed the Infinite, by which God reveals himself as creator.

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.
