Metaphysically obscure(as used in metaphysics): So unclear or hard to understand about the fundamental nature of reality that it's questionable whether the distinction actually exists in any real, meaningful way.
Objective measures(The statement argues that harm can be measured objectively, like a fact about the world): Facts that are true regardless of what anyone believes or feels about them—like measuring temperature with a thermometer, as opposed to just saying 'it feels hot.'
Theological tradition(The statement notes that the concept of dignity is understood differently depending on which religion or belief system you follow): A particular religious community's inherited beliefs and teachings about God, morality, and the sacred.
dignity(Schiller's aesthetic framework contrasting dignity with grace): The sensible expression of successfully willing to act in accordance with moral principles even at the cost of the suppression of conflicting desires and feelings, manifest in different aspects of appearance than grace.
