Form-exemplification(as used in metaphysics and ontology): When something displays or possesses a particular quality, characteristic, or form—for example, an object exemplifying redness by being red.
Immaterial minds(as used in metaphysics/philosophy of mind): Minds or consciousness that don't have a physical body or physical form—the idea that thinking and awareness might exist without being made of matter.
Prerequisite(as used in academic and logical reasoning): Something that must be done or understood first before you can move forward with the next step.
Spatial situatedness(as used in metaphysics): The quality of being located in physical space at a specific place and time; having a concrete position in the physical world.
rationality(Traditional conception being challenged by epistemic relativists): A cognitive virtue and hallmark of the scientific method, intimately tied to requirements of consistency, justification, warrant, and evidence for beliefs.
spatiality(Kantian epistemology; contrasted with ontological independence): A subjective, phenomenological mode of representing things outside us, not an intrinsic feature of mind-independent objects.
virtue(Valla's voluntarist account of virtue): A quality that resides in the will, governing actions to which moral qualifications are assigned.
