Emotions, metaphors and reality : a phenomenological approach to William Lyall's Intellect, the emotions and the moral nature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In their work The Faces of Reason: An Essay on Philosophy and \nCulture in English Canada 1850-1950, Leslie Armour and Elizabeth \nTrott consider that the Canadian way of doing philosophy uses \nreason in an accommodationist manner. I propose in this thesis that \nWilliam Lyall's Intellect, the Emotions and the Moral Nature \nrepresents a splendid example of the accommodationist use of \nreason. \nThe Maritimes philosopher advances the idea that emotions \nhave a cognitive value, a claim which I support by trying to put \nLyall's ideas in a modern framework offered by French philosopher \nJean Paul Sartre. Latent in Lyall's work can also be found a theory \nof metaphor which I try to revive with the help of French \nphilosopher Paul Ricoeur. \nThus, following Lyall, emotions and reason are always in a \nbalance and they work together in order to give us a more \nconsistent and fuller grasp of reality.

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.
