Morally equivalent(as used in ethics): When two actions are equally wrong (or equally right) from an ethical standpoint.
consequences(Contested definition within consequentialist theory): Future events caused by an act, where the scope depends on which notion of causation is used — either restricted to proximate effects or extended to all upshots for which the act is a causally necessary condition.
moral responsibility(The author argues for a pluralistic understanding rather than a Kantian-exclusive one): A normative concept whose scope is contested; the passage implies it encompasses at least Kantian notions (centered on individual rational agency) and other notions (potentially sociological, collective, or non-individualist in character)
moral universe(as used in ethics): A way of thinking about reality where actions have ethical weight—where right and wrong actually matter and affect how things should turn out.
