Moral theory(the broader framework being evaluated): A systematic set of principles or rules that explains what makes actions right or wrong, and how we should behave toward others.
Motivational anchor(describing another role the ego plays in the theory): A foundation or starting point that drives why you do things or what makes you care about something.
Psychological projection(describing where Hume believes our sense of causation comes from): When our mind creates or imposes something onto the world that isn't actually there—we're projecting our own thoughts or expectations onto reality.
Structurally egocentric(the conclusion the statement draws about these moral theories): Built in a way that puts your own individual perspective at the center, even if the theory claims to be fair to everyone.
