Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The article examines why ideas and concepts that originate from different backgrounds are viewed as anthropologically, but not philosophically relevant, even when they do in fact have philosophical import. Drawing on the work of Nigerian-American philosopher, Nkiru Nzegwu, on the Igbo of eastern Nigeria, it argues that the significance of emotional experience and partisanship shows that some kinds of knowledge require personal investment of a specific, more emotional sort. In certain situations, an agent acquires knowledge, not inspite of her emotions, but because emotional experience is necessary to gain knowledge. The upshot is that scholars have to talk about emotional development, and to some extent even about personal growth in certain cases, when they talk about knowledge in particular areas of inquiry.

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.
