    Key Terms

    Epistemic warrant(in logic and knowledge)
    The amount of evidence, reasoning, or justification you actually have to believe something is true—basically, how much proof or support backs up a claim.
    Subjective access(how you personally perceive or experience something)
    Your direct, personal experience of something—what it feels like or seems like from your point of view.
    The Stoics(as an example of a Western philosophical school that blurred the line between what is rational and what we should do)
    Philosophers from ancient Greece and Rome who believed that living well means accepting what happens to you without resistance and aligning your desires with reason and nature.
    The sage(as the model for ethical decision-making)
    In philosophy, a person of great wisdom and practical skill who knows how to act well in any situation; someone who has cultivated virtue over time.

    assent(Epictetan epistemology and action theory)
    The cognitive act of accepting a proposition as true, regulated by perceived logical consistency or contradiction with one's existing beliefs.
    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
    knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
    Justified true belief — true belief that has been arrived at through the exercise of deliberative capacities, including comparison of and deliberation among alternatives.
    non-cognitive impressions(contrasted with cognitive impressions)
    Mental experiences or feelings that don't give you real knowledge—like a guess, a feeling, or an illusion that might not be true.
