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.
Zagzebski(as a philosopher whose argument is being discussed)
Linda Zagzebski is a contemporary philosopher who studies knowledge and how we acquire true beliefs; she's known for arguing that what makes knowledge valuable is different from what makes mere true beliefs valuable.
experiential identity(what the statement argues doesn't automatically follow from causal access alone)
The idea that if two beings have had the exact same direct experiences, they would have identical knowledge of what those experiences are like.
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.
