Abstract
Abstract This article provides the first detailed discussion of an objection to Kant's theory of freedom in Henri Bergson's 1904‐05 lectures at the Collège de France. According to Bergson, if Kant succeeds in defending the possibility of human freedom, this is not the freedom of any particular human being, but rather the freedom of the ‘moi en général’. I compare this objection to arguments against Kant's theory of freedom by other late nineteenth/early twentieth century French philosophers such as Émile Boutroux, Charles Renouvier and Victor Delbos, as well as to one of the best known objections to this theory in the subsequent anglophone literature. I argue that Bergson's objection rests on the false assumption that, according to Kant, “there is no difference in nature… between time and space.”

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 it
