Contestable(describing the status of historical evidence): Open to debate or disagreement; something people can reasonably argue against.
Dispute(as used in general philosophical discussion): A disagreement or argument between people about what is true or what should be done.
Empirical: # Empirical Empirical means based on real observation, experience, or experiments rather than theory or guessing. When something is empirical, it's proven by actually testing it or seeing it happen in the real world, not just thinking about it logically. For example, empirical evidence might be data collected from a survey or results from a scientific experiment that shows what actually occurs.
Oppressive structures(as used in social and political philosophy): Systems or institutions (like government, education, or the economy) that are organized in ways that unfairly harm certain groups of people.
