    Key Terms

    Category error(as used in logic and philosophy of language)
    A logical mistake where you apply a rule or concept to something it doesn't actually fit, like using a math formula on a poem.
    Framework-constituting propositions(as used in epistemology)
    Basic foundational claims that form the underlying structure through which we interpret and understand everything else—like the rules of a game that you have to accept before you can even play.
    Inference from ignorance(what the principle of indifference relies on)
    Drawing a conclusion based on the fact that you don't know something, rather than on positive evidence.
    Lack of justification(as used in epistemology)
    The absence of good reasons or evidence that would make a belief reasonable to hold.
    P5

    Standards of ordinary justification(as used in epistemology)
    The normal rules we use to decide whether a belief is reasonable or well-supported by evidence in everyday situations.
