BIV(Epistemology / skepticism about external world knowledge): Brain-in-a-vat — a hypothetical subject whose experiences are artificially induced, used as a skeptical scenario
Epistemic evaluation(epistemology): The process of judging whether a belief or claim counts as knowledge, is reasonable, or is justified—basically, assessing how solid our reasons are for believing something.
Moorean hinge proposition(epistemology and philosophy of knowledge): A statement so fundamental to how we think that we can't seriously question it without undermining everything else—named after philosopher G.E. Moore, who argued some things are just too basic to doubt (like 'I have hands').
Skeptical scenario(Used to challenge the scope of ordinary perceptual knowledge): A possible world in which S is systematically deceived such that it merely appears to S that ordinary perceptual propositions are true, even though they are false
