Categorically different(arguing that weak dominance is not a weaker version of strong dominance, but something entirely separate): Fundamentally different in kind or type, rather than just different in degree or strength—like how a dog differs from a rock, not just like how a large dog differs from a small one.
epistemology (knowledge governed by public norms)(as used in philosophy): The study of how we know things and what counts as real knowledge—the idea that knowledge typically follows rules the whole community can understand and test.
explanatory gap(Central concept in anti-physicalist arguments): The alleged in-principle inability to intelligibly explain how consciousness arises from physical processes
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.
