Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In my conversations with students, I often end up asking if they have heard of Judith Shklar.Almost none of them have; she is rarely taught in undergraduate philosophy or politics departments, but she becomes known to many of us once we are a little older and wiser.My own PhD supervisor recommended that I read Shklar in the first weeks of my doctorate, and she has continued to shape and challenge my work ever since.Of course, Shklar has not been "ignored" or "forgotten," but she has remained a niche interest.Most know her for her famous essay "The Liberalism of Fear" (1989) in which she argues in favor of a liberalism centered around a summum malum, rather than a positive doctrine of justice or civic virtue.She is certainly not as wellcelebrated as the other great political theorists and philosophers of her time such as Isaiah Berlin, John Rawls, and Michael Walzer, all of whom she considered friends.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
