Based on where you are in your exploration

P3(as referenced in formal logic or philosophical argumentation): A specific rule or principle (probably the third one in a list) being discussed in the larger argument.
Passion(as what the statement says shouldn't be confused with rational response): In philosophy, an emotional response or desire that happens to you automatically, without your rational control—like sudden anger or fear.
Philosophically(as used in general philosophy): In a way that concerns deep questions about the nature of reality, knowledge, ethics, and how things fundamentally work.
Reason(Malebranche's identification of the epistemic faculty with a divine person): The second person of the Trinity, identified with the Neoplatonic logos, to which the human mind turns in every act of seeking knowledge
empirically(as used in epistemology (how we know things)): Based on actual observations and real-world evidence rather than just ideas or beliefs.
impulse(Stoic psychology): A movement of the soul toward an object; present in all animate (self-moving) things from birth.
obligation(Within obligational disputation): The respondent's commitment to a specific stance on the case put forward by the opponent, which governs how the respondent must respond to subsequent propositions throughout the disputation.
