Based on where you are in your exploration

Moral ideals(examples of what practical reason produces): Standards of right and wrong behavior that we think people should strive toward.
Rational teleology(another example of practical reason): The idea that human reasoning naturally aims toward specific goals or purposes that make sense.
Theological(describing Cantor's view of the absolute infinite): Relating to God or religion, and questions about the nature of God and the divine.
Transcendent entity(contrasted with 'regulative ideal' as what God would be in traditional theology): Something that exists beyond the physical world and human experience, independent and separate from it.
coherent(de Finetti's usage in the context of the Dutch Book argument for probabilism): A subject is coherent if their unconditional degrees of belief do not permit a Dutch Book (a guaranteed loss through a combination of bets) to be made against them
practical reason(Kantian moral philosophy): The rational faculty by which agents determine what is morally valuable and impose the moral law upon themselves.
regulative ideal(Kant's characterization of how theoretical reason legitimately employs the concept of God — not as established fact, but as a heuristic for pursuing unified, systematic understanding of the natural world.): A concept that theoretical reason employs as a useful organizing principle for systematic knowledge without asserting that concept's referent actually exists as an object of knowledge.
