    Key Terms

    Downstream(describing what comes after or depends on cognition)
    Coming later in a chain of events or depending on something else; not the starting point.
    Foundational presuppositions(as used in epistemology (theory of knowledge))
    Basic assumptions that we have to accept first before we can even start reasoning about anything else—like the ground floor of a building that everything else rests on.
    Justificatory categories(as used in epistemology)
    Different types of reasons or methods we use to explain why we believe something is true or why something is right.
    Normative structure(as used in ethics and philosophy of language)
    A set of rules or standards that tell us how things should be or what we ought to do, rather than just describing how things actually are.
