A form of practical reasoning in which an agent has some end and reasons to a sufficient means for achieving that end.
epiphenomenal(Used to characterize the hypothetical judgment in Hardimon's view once the justice condition is isolated)
Playing no genuine justificatory role; present in the account but doing no independent normative work
moral responsibility(The author argues for a pluralistic understanding rather than a Kantian-exclusive one)
A normative concept whose scope is contested; the passage implies it encompasses at least Kantian notions (centered on individual rational agency) and other notions (potentially sociological, collective, or non-individualist in character)
ontologically settled(describing whether future events are already decided in reality)
Already determined to be real or fixed as a matter of fact, rather than being open or undecided.
