Abstract
I n 2007, following the release of his book, A Secular Age (ASA), CharlesTaylor was awarded the Templeton prize, a prize that "honors a living person who has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life's spiritual dimension." 1 In Taylor's acceptance speech for the award -the award value totaling around 1.5 million dollars 2 -he made the following observation:There is a tremendous capacity in human life to forget things that we somehow deep-down know, I think there is a kind of forgetfulness that we fall into.And, in particular, there is a set of "forgettings" that are very very central to the modern world… 3 Taylor continued by arguing that one of the central "forgettings" particular to the modern world is its propensity to neglect its inherited spiritual or sacred foundation.Indeed, throughout ASA -and many of his other publications -Taylor tracks the social, cultural, economic, philosophical, and scientific processes that led to the state of "forgettings" relating to spiritual and religious matters.Key to Taylor's conception of forgetfulness is his belief (hope?) that humans can both remember their spiritual past and find ways to productively reencounter the spiritual dimension in both their present and future lives.This temporal -i.e.past, present, and future -backdrop figures prominently in Taylor's analysis, and will serve as the analytical focus of this paper.Specifically, below, I examine a phrase that is repeated in four of Taylor's books and a number of his published articles and essays; the phrase being: "'A time of origins' in Eliade's sense."This phrase occurs in several 1.

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.
