    Key Terms

    Critical constraints(rules about the proper boundaries between science and religion/theology)
    Limits or boundaries that Kant believed philosophy and science must respect to stay legitimate—basically, rules about what kinds of claims are valid and what should be kept separate.
    Elementary Philosophy(the type of philosophy being criticized in the statement)
    A basic or foundational approach to philosophy that tries to explain how knowledge and reality work using simple, primary principles.
    Ground (as a verb)(as used in epistemology)
    To serve as the foundation or justification for a belief—to be the reason why you should accept something as true.
    Objective matter(what the philosophy is trying to explain the existence of)
    Physical things in the world that exist independently of what any person thinks or feels about them—like rocks or tables.

    Trans-experiential causation(the method that Elementary Philosophy supposedly uses)
    The idea that something can cause effects or create reality in ways that go beyond what we can actually experience or observe.
    coherence(Applied uniformly by Bosanquet to both religious and non-religious truth claims.)
    The standard by which truth is assessed — a belief or system of beliefs is true insofar as it forms a consistent, internally unified whole.
