    Key Terms

    Structurally impossible(as used in logic and philosophy of language)

    biological baseline(as used in philosophy of communication)
    The shared physical traits and needs that all humans have in common, like having bodies, needing food, and aging—the idea being that these similarities help us understand each other.
    communicative reciprocity(as used in philosophy of communication and ethics)
    The ability to have a real two-way conversation where both people can genuinely understand each other and respond meaningfully.
    non-oppressive(as used in ethics and political philosophy)
    Fair and respectful in a way that doesn't unfairly control, dominate, or harm one group of people for the benefit of another.
