Ross, W.D.(in ethics): A 20th-century British philosopher who argued that moral rules (like 'don't lie') aren't absolute—sometimes circumstances create exceptions—but exceptions can't be made arbitrarily.
contradiction(Relevant to distinguishing contradictions from false contingent statements in the logic student variant of the preface paradox.): A statement that is necessarily false in all interpretations; in this context, specifically the negation of a tautology or any falsehood drawn from a list containing only tautologies and contradictions.
entails(describes a logical relationship between statements): Logically forces or guarantees; if A entails B, then whenever A is true, B must also be true.
extrinsic value(The only kind of value actions and activities possess under hedonism): Value something has solely insofar as it brings about intrinsic value or disvalue, whether mediately or directly.
