Bayesian framework(as the method Howson and Urbach use to analyze historical arguments): A mathematical approach to reasoning about uncertainty that uses probabilities to update what we believe when we encounter new evidence.
Coherent idealization(as a methodological approach in philosophy): A simplified or imaginary version of something that makes logical sense and can be used in thinking, even if it doesn't exist perfectly in real life.
Incorrigible commitment(in epistemology (the study of knowledge)): A belief or dedication that someone absolutely refuses to give up or change, no matter what evidence or arguments come their way.
Prior probability(Used to argue that theism's low prior probability is not overcome by ambiguous or absent evidence): The intrinsic probability of a hypothesis before taking any evidence into account
