    Key Terms

    Compulsive deliberator(describing a person under hypnotic suggestion)
    Someone who is thinking through a decision or problem, but feels forced or driven to do so against their will.
    Deliberative phenomenology(the subjective experience of deliberation)
    The actual felt experience of thinking through a choice or decision—what it feels like from the inside when you're deliberating.
    Genuine
    Something is genuine when it is real, authentic, and exactly what it claims to be—not fake, counterfeit, or pretending to be something else. For example, genuine leather is actual leather rather than synthetic material, or a genuine apology comes from sincere feeling rather than obligation. The word describes anything that is honestly and truly itself without deception or imitation.
    Hypnotic suggestion(as the condition affecting the deliberator)
    An instruction or idea planted in someone's mind while they're in a hypnotic state, which they may follow without consciously choosing to.

    Phenomenology underdetermines(explaining why subjective experience has limits)
    The felt experience alone isn't enough to prove or establish something; you can't rely only on what something feels like to conclude it's true.
    Thomas Reid(the philosopher being referenced regarding what phenomenology can establish)
    An 18th-century Scottish philosopher who argued that we have direct knowledge of the external world and that common sense is a reliable guide to truth.
    libertarian freedom
    The view that freedom involves a radical, indeterminist exercise of power.
