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.
Virtue development(as used in ethics and character philosophy): The process of building good character traits and habits through practice, like how you become more honest or courageous over time by actually being honest and courageous.
deterministic(describing the nature of the empirical world): Operating under the principle that every event is caused by prior events in an unbreakable chain, leaving no room for genuine freedom or choice.
moral agency(Debated in the context of whether AI systems can qualify as moral agents): The status of being an entity toward which others have moral duties, and which may itself bear moral duties.
