- cognition(Interpretation of Kant's use of 'cognition' (Erkenntnis) as pertaining to meaning/intelligibility rather than merely knowledge)
- A semantic notion (on the interpretation described)
- eternal intelligence(Green's idealist metaphysics)
- A supra-individual mind that constitutes the order of the world and partially reproduces itself in individual human intelligences, communicating aspects of cosmic order piecemeal but in inseparable correlation.
- explanatorily redundant(suggesting the Future Hypothesis doesn't add anything useful if we already have a better explanation)
- Unnecessary for explaining something because another explanation already does the job better.
- phenomena(Distinguished from data in the context of scientific explanation)
- The targets of scientific learning, inferred from data rather than identical to data itself
- positing(Fichtean model of self-consciousness)
- The act by which the I establishes or asserts being — both its own being and, through limitation, the being of the non-I
- shared cognitive order(as used in epistemology)
- The fact that different people's minds seem to work in similar ways and perceive the world in largely compatible ways, rather than each experiencing completely different realities.
- structuring conditions of experience(as used in epistemology (theory of knowledge))
- The basic frameworks or rules that shape how we perceive and understand the world—like how our brain automatically organizes sensations into patterns we can make sense of.
- transcendental(Scotus's reformulated conception)
- That which has no predicate above it except being; commonality to many inferiors is inessential.
