    Key Terms

    Enduring(as describing the persistence of personal substance)
    Lasting or continuing to exist over time without disappearing or fundamentally changing.
    Humean skepticism(as used in epistemology and metaphysics)
    A philosophical position inspired by David Hume, an 18th-century Scottish philosopher, who argued that we cannot find a permanent, unchanging 'self'—instead, we're just a collection of fleeting thoughts and experiences.
    Premise
    A premise is a statement or fact that you assume to be true as a starting point for reasoning or making an argument. Think of it as the foundation or building block you use to reach a conclusion—for example, "All dogs are animals" and "My pet is a dog" are premises that lead to the conclusion "My pet is an animal." Premises are essentially the evidence or claims you offer before drawing a final conclusion.
    Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted)
    Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.

    Relatum(as used in logic and metaphysics)
    A thing that stands in a relationship to something else; one of the items being related in a comparison.
    Robust(in the discussion of mathematical properties)
    Strong, reliable, and stable—something that doesn't break or change significantly when conditions vary slightly.
    Structurally identical(as used in metaphysics)
    Having exactly the same arrangement, properties, and characteristics; being impossible to tell apart by any description or measurement.
    knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
    Justified true belief — true belief that has been arrived at through the exercise of deliberative capacities, including comparison of and deliberation among alternatives.
