Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
Moral register(to describe how different types of actions have different moral standing): A distinct category or level of moral significance—the idea that some things are morally different in kind, not just degree.
Perfect duties(DJN III.3.1, contrasted with imperfect duties): Duties owed to others that can be compelled, such as not injuring others and making reparation for injury.
Philosophical consensus(to suggest this is a shared view in the field): A widespread agreement among philosophers about a particular idea, even if not every philosopher agrees.
