Ground binding obligations(as used in ethics and philosophy of action): Provide a solid foundation or justification for creating duties or responsibilities that someone must actually follow.
Habitual residence(as used in this argument about consent): Staying in a place or maintaining a situation out of routine or habit, without actively choosing it or thinking about it each time.
Intentional mental state(as used in philosophy of mind and ethics): A conscious thought or awareness directed toward something specific—like when you deliberately think about a particular object or action, rather than just doing something automatically.
Object of consent(as used in ethics and consent theory): The specific thing you're agreeing to or giving permission for—like consenting to a medical procedure means the 'object' is that particular procedure.
