Angela Smith(as the originator of the recognition model being discussed): A contemporary philosopher who studies ethics and blame, specifically interested in understanding when and why it's fair to hold someone responsible for their actions.
Evaluative relationship(as the type of relationship required for blame to be justified): A connection between people based on how they judge, assess, or care about each other's worth and interests.
Grounds (in philosophy)(Strawson's theory grounds responsibility in relationships rather than metaphysics): Serves as the foundation or basis for something; what something is based on or explained by.
Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted): Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.
