Justification to individuals(the foundation Scanlon uses for his distributive principles): The practice of explaining and defending decisions or rules directly to the people affected by them, so they can understand why something is fair or reasonable.
Metaphysical facts(as what Strawson argues is NOT necessary for moral responsibility): Deep truths about the nature of reality itself—things like whether free will exists or whether the future is determined.
T.M. Scanlon(defender of non-naturalist cognitivism): A contemporary American philosopher who defends the idea that moral claims are real truths based on contractualist reasoning (what rational people could agree to).
distributive principles(as used in ethics and political philosophy): Rules about how to fairly spread out or divide something (like happiness, pain, or resources) among different people or groups.
