Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Édouard Le Roy (1870–1954) made an important contribution to philosophical debates at the start of the twentieth century on evolution and the position of the human species within nature. Yet his work has been overlooked, notably his role in the development of the concept of the noosphere. This article examines the context of Le Roy’s work, analyses the metaphysics and ontology set out in his two books L’Exigence idéaliste et le fait de l’évolution (1927) and Les origines humaines et l’évolution de l’intelligence (1928). It explores the issue of anthropomorphism and the relevance of his ideas to contemporary debates on planetary ecology and the concept of the Anthropocene, noting that Le Roy’s decision to place the biosphere at the heart of his ontology ultimately means his philosophy can be regarded as a steppingstone towards a philosophy of Earth.

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.
