determinism(Discussion of classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity)
A property of physical theories concerning whether the laws governing a system fully fix future (and past) states given present conditions; admits of degrees ('fall only a bit short')
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)
