    Key Terms

    The grammatical form used to make statements about facts, as opposed to commands or wishes—basically, the way we normally talk about how things are.
    Non-cognitive states(philosophy of mind and metaethics)
    Mental states that aren't about knowing or believing factual information—like emotions, desires, or attitudes.
    Quasi-realist(metaethics and philosophy of language)
    A philosophical framework that tries to explain how statements about things that aren't concrete facts (like moral values or emotions) can still be discussed seriously and meaningfully, almost as if they were facts.
    coherence(Applied uniformly by Bosanquet to both religious and non-religious truth claims.)
    The standard by which truth is assessed — a belief or system of beliefs is true insofar as it forms a consistent, internally unified whole.
