(the person whose decision to write is being analyzed in this example)
An ancient Greek philosopher (around 428-348 BCE) who wrote famous dialogues exploring big questions about knowledge, justice, and reality.
Rational constraint(as a key claim about how reason works)
The idea that reason and logic can limit or guide our choices because they have real force—they actually obligate us, not just suggest ideas.
coherent(de Finetti's usage in the context of the Dutch Book argument for probabilism)
A subject is coherent if their unconditional degrees of belief do not permit a Dutch Book (a guaranteed loss through a combination of bets) to be made against them
heteronomy(Contrasted with the mistaken view that any inalterability entails heteronomy)
Lacking autonomy relative to some aspect of oneself; specifically, being unable to alter an aspect of oneself that one experiences upon reflection as an external burden constricting one's more settled and authentic nature.
