    Key Terms

    Audience-adaptation(in argumentation and rhetoric)
    Changing how you present an argument based on who you're talking to—tailoring your language, examples, or tone to fit your listeners.
    Constitutive condition(as used in metaphysics and philosophy of language)
    A requirement that is essential and necessary—something that must be present for something else to actually exist or be what it is.
    Epistemic validity(in epistemology (the study of knowledge))
    An argument is epistemically valid when it reliably leads you closer to the truth, regardless of whether it convinces people.
    Normative standard(as used in ethics)
    A rule or principle that tells us what *should* be the case, what's right or wrong—not just what *is* the case.
    Persuasive efficacy

    Pragmatic tool(in epistemology and logic)
    Something useful for getting practical results in real-world situations, even if it's not the main point or requirement.
