Idealist grounding(as a philosophical position about what's fundamentally real): An explanation or foundation that treats ideas, concepts, or the mind itself as the primary reality, rather than assuming the physical world exists independently.
Passivity-based argument(as contrasted with the active role of the mind): A type of explanation that emphasizes how the mind is acted upon or shaped by outside forces—like how your senses receive impressions from the world rather than creating them.
Spontaneous(describing the active nature of rational thinking): Self-initiated and self-directed, rather than caused by something external; in Kant's view, reason acts on its own rather than being triggered by outside stimuli.
The Analytic(as a reference to Kant's major philosophical work): The second major section of Kant's *Critique of Pure Reason*, where he explores how the mind actively structures and organizes experience through concepts and categories.
