    Key Terms

    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.
    Normative standard(as used in ethics)
    A rule or principle that tells us what *should* be the case, what's right or wrong—not just what *is* the case.
    Subsumption(describing how proper names are being grouped into a larger grammatical class)
    The act of placing something into a larger category or group—like saying 'apples' fall under the bigger category of 'fruit.'
    first-personal question(what the statement argues talent-development should be)
    A question that each person has to answer for themselves based on their own life, values, and experiences—rather than something an outside authority decides for everyone.
