Abstract
ABSTRACT This article concerns a concept I call “corporeal facticity.” This concept, which refers to the basic existential experience of embodiment as an inescapable self-enchainment, is introduced in Levinas's 1934 essay “Reflections on the Philosophy of Hitlerism.” While others have interpreted this perplexing early essay in liberal and anti-fatalist terms, I argue that its powerful political arguments against both liberalism and Nazi fascism succeed only if we recognize that Levinas is affirming the fatalism of corporeal facticity as a basic existential condition rather than denouncing it, as others have thought, as the central error of Hitlerism or as the link between Hitlerism and Heidegger. After further showing how Levinas's account furnishes a complex anti-liberal diagnosis of Hitlerian biological racism, I conclude by sketching how the 1934 thesis of corporeal facticity is implicitly renewed in the conception of ethical embodiment that Levinas develops at the other end of his career in Otherwise than Being (1974).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
