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.
Necessary existence(Contrasted with contingent existence in discussion of God's mode of being): Existence that is not contingent; the being does not just happen to exist or not exist.
Unwarranted(the conflation between logical and ontological distinctions is not justified): Not justified or supported by good reasons; done without proper evidence or grounds.
actuality(Contrasted with non-actuality; ceasing to be actual is equated with death and the loss of all distinctively human properties): The state of being actual (as opposed to merely possible), associated with consciousness, embodiment, and lived human properties
