    Key Terms

    Metaphysical freedom(as Kant's proposed solution to the free will problem)
    The idea that humans have a kind of freedom that exists at a deep level of reality—not just the practical ability to do what we want, but a fundamental freedom from being completely determined by physical causes.
    Participant stances(as opposed to objective observation)
    The perspective you have when you're actively involved in relationships with others, as opposed to standing back and observing them coldly from the outside.
    Strawson
    # Strawson Peter Strawson was a 20th-century British philosopher best known for challenging the traditional view that all meaningful statements must be either true or false. He argued that some statements—like "The present King of France is bald"—are neither true nor false because they fail to properly refer to anything that exists. His work fundamentally changed how philosophers think about language, meaning, and logic.
    determination(Used to explain supervenience-like dependency between entities or properties)

    To be explained by or to have its reason or basis in something else—like how a tree being wet is grounded in (explained by) recent rain.
    moral responsibility(The author argues for a pluralistic understanding rather than a Kantian-exclusive one)
    A normative concept whose scope is contested; the passage implies it encompasses at least Kantian notions (centered on individual rational agency) and other notions (potentially sociological, collective, or non-individualist in character)
    reactive attitudes(Blame is given as the paradigm case of a reactive attitude)
    Attitudes that agents have towards other agents in response to those agents' behavior
