    Key Terms

    Action-guiding(as used in ethics)
    Capable of actually helping someone decide what to do in a real situation, rather than being purely theoretical.
    Ill will(as a motivation behind behavior)
    A hostile or mean-spirited intention toward someone; wanting to harm or disrespect them.
    Indifference(Bhattacharya/Mohanty interpretation)
    Not only want of freedom but also not actively willing freedom
    cognitive content(Humean empiricist semantics)
    The meaningful idea annexed to a term, which must ultimately be traceable to original impressions.
    judgment(Russell and Ramsey's multiple-relation theory of judgment)
    A multiple relation of the mind or mental factors to many objects — the constituents of the proposition judged — rather than a single relation to a single propositional object
