Inference to best explanation(used in epistemology and philosophy of science): A way of reasoning where you figure out what's probably true by picking the explanation that makes the most sense of the facts you observe, even if you can't prove it directly.
Intersubjective(describing how self-consciousness develops through relationships with others): Something that exists or happens between different people's minds or perspectives, rather than just in one person's individual experience.
Observational predictions(used in philosophy of science): Claims about what someone should be able to see, measure, or detect if a theory or explanation is correct.
entrenched(constitutional theory): A feature of constitutions whereby their provisions are difficult to change or remove, in contrast to ordinary laws which can be amended or repealed with minimal effort
