Contingent inclinations(as the subjective factors that don't determine moral truth according to Kant): Our personal desires, feelings, and preferences that happen to vary from person to person and can change over time (like wanting chocolate or preferring comfort).
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.
a priori(Frege treats 'analytic' as entailing 'a priori' for arithmetic.): Knowable independently of empirical experience; here treated as a consequence of analyticity.
moral law(Locke's moral philosophy; The Reasonableness of Christianity): A law constituted by God's imposition, which alone creates genuine obligation — distinct from rational counsel or advice about morality
