    Key Terms

    biological capacity-restoration(as used in philosophy of identity)
    The process of fixing or rebuilding the physical, living systems of something—like repairing a body's biological functions.
    entity(as used in metaphysics)
    Any individual thing or being that exists—could be a person, object, or anything else that is one distinct thing.
    functionally equivalent(as used in philosophy of mind and metaphysics)
    Two things that work the same way or produce the same results, even if they're different in other ways.
    necessary and sufficient conditions(in philosophical analysis)
    A 'necessary' condition is something that must be true for something else to happen; a 'sufficient' condition is something that guarantees it will happen. This phrase describes what must be true (and what's enough) for a definition to apply.
