Epistemically inaccessible(Describing a state (pre-cosmic) that we couldn't possibly have direct knowledge of): Something that humans cannot know or understand through reason, observation, or any other method of gaining knowledge.
authentic understanding(as used in epistemology): Genuine, real comprehension of something—not just memorizing facts, but truly grasping what something means.
criterion(as used in philosophy to describe a test for whether an idea works): A standard or rule used to decide whether something counts as true or valid.
doctrinal comprehension(as used in philosophy): Understanding a system of beliefs or teachings, like grasping the core ideas of a philosophy or religion.
epistemology(Contrasted with purely descriptive scientific inquiry): A normative enterprise that tells us how we ought to reason from evidence and how we ought to justify our beliefs, as distinct from merely describing how we do reason or justify beliefs
ineffable(used to describe experiences like religious moments or deep personal feelings): Something that is so hard to describe or put into words that it basically can't be communicated fully to another person, no matter how hard you try.
meaningful standard(as used in epistemology): A reliable yardstick that actually tells us something useful and can be applied in practice.
