explanatory priority(Contrasted with ontological priority in the context of structure-agency debates)
The methodological or theoretical primacy given to one level of analysis (e.g., social structure) when explaining phenomena, without necessarily making a claim about what fundamentally exists
false dichotomy(as used in logic and critical thinking)
A misleading choice between two options that seems mutually exclusive but actually isn't—like saying you must either love pizza or hate it, when you could just like it okay.
grounding(Drawn from contemporary metaphysics; proposed as potentially applicable to understanding the foundations of legality.)
A metaphysical relation in which some entities or facts are more foundational than others, providing a hierarchical structure of the world.
