Christine Korsgaard(the author being discussed): A contemporary American philosopher known for her work on ethics, identity, and what makes actions right or wrong based on rational principles.
Self-Constitution(Korsgaard's main topic): The idea that you create and define who you are through your own choices and actions, rather than just being born with a fixed identity.
Substantive commitment(as in 'substantive and contestable' - a meaningful choice that reasonable people could disagree about): A significant choice or belief that actually matters and has real consequences, rather than being trivial or obvious.
means-ends reasoning(Applied to design and the realization of technical artifacts): Reasoning that concerns the evaluation of means with respect to their ability to achieve given ends, and ideally also the generation or construction of means for given ends
