Cognitively inaccessible(describing when phenomenal content cannot be accessed): Information or content that exists in your mind but that you cannot consciously think about, access, or report—it's there but not available to your conscious reasoning.
Critical moral thinking(the ideal, reflective way of making moral decisions): The deeper, more careful level of moral reasoning where you think about what the best principles and rules are for living ethically.
Intuitive moral thinking(the practical, automatic way we actually make decisions in daily life): The quick, everyday moral judgments you make based on your learned habits and gut feelings, without stopping to think deeply.
R.M. Hare(moral philosophy and language): A 20th-century British philosopher who studied how we use language to make moral judgments and how facts about the world relate to what we say is right or wrong.
