Perfectionist(as applied to virtue ethics): In ethics, the belief that humans have an ideal or best possible way of living, and that morality involves striving toward that ideal version of ourselves.
Stoic/Stoicism(philosophical school being referenced): An ancient Greek and Roman philosophy that taught people should live according to reason and virtue, and accept what they cannot control with calm acceptance.
consequentialist(Shared position of Russell and Moore): One who believes that the rightness or otherwise of an act is in some way dependent on consequences.
internalist/internalism(the Stoic approach to virtue that the passage says is being contradicted): The view that what matters morally comes from inside a person (like their intentions, beliefs, or reasoning) rather than external results.
