Biological need(contrasted with what Sartre argues desire actually comes from): A physical requirement for survival, like hunger, thirst, or the need for sleep.
Conflating: Conflating means mixing together or treating two different things as if they were the same thing, when they're actually distinct. It's a logical error where someone blurs important differences between concepts, ideas, or situations to make an argument seem stronger than it is. For example, conflating "being critical of a policy" with "being disloyal to your country" wrongly equates two separate things.
Non-sequitur(describes the type of logical error Al-Farabi supposedly made): A logical fallacy where the conclusion doesn't actually follow from the reasons given—like saying 'the sky is blue, therefore pizza is delicious.'
inference(Nyāya epistemology): A component of epistemology in Nyāya philosophy; a veritable inference yields knowledge about the world and must have premises that are themselves known
