    Key Terms

    Bureaucratic legitimacy(as used in political philosophy)
    The question of whether government offices and organizations that handle day-to-day administration have the right to their power and make fair decisions.
    Categorically different(arguing that weak dominance is not a weaker version of strong dominance, but something entirely separate)
    Fundamentally different in kind or type, rather than just different in degree or strength—like how a dog differs from a rock, not just like how a large dog differs from a small one.
    Epistemic criteria(as the missing tool needed to decide between theories)
    Standards based on what we can know or believe—like how reliable something is or how well it helps us understand the world.
    Global governance(as used in political philosophy)
    Systems and institutions that make decisions affecting the whole world or multiple countries, like the United Nations or international courts.

    The quality of being rightfully in power; when people accept that a government has the right to rule.
    procedural criteria(as used in discussions of valid agreements)
    The rules or steps that need to be followed for something to be considered correct or legitimate, rather than focusing on the outcomes or fairness of the result.
