- 4. Properties that are 'utterly inseparable' from a physical object, whatever changes it goes through. The object has these properties 'in and of itself'.
- 10. A single, uniform conception, with nothing distinguishable within it.
- 12. We perceive physical objects, which exist independently of the mind, indirectly via sense-data which are caused by and represent physical objects but it is still possible that the conclusion is false.
- 13. A non-veridical perceptual experience that is not coherently connected with the rest of our perceptual experience.
- 14. The theory that you know that p if p is true, you believe that p, and your belief is caused by a reliable cognitive process.
- 16. Physical objects exist independently of our minds and of our perceptions of them, and the immediate objects of perception are mind-independent objects and their properties.
- 20. A proposition that could be either true or false, a state of affairs that may or may not hold, depending on how the world actually is.
- 21. Knowledge or ideas that are in some way built into the structure of the mind, rather than gained from sense experience.
- 22. A characteristic that something has only in relation to another thing. E.g. 'Pete is taller than Bob', or 'Alice loves Jack'.

- 1. Impossible to imagine, think or grasp.
- 2. States of affairs, how the world is. According to Hume, they are known through experience and induction, especially causal inference.
- 3. The view that only oneself, one's mind, exists. There are no mind-independent physical objects and there are no other minds either.
- 5. To be knowledge, a belief must be certain. If we can doubt a belief, then it is not certain, and so it is not knowledge.
- 6. An argument whose conclusion is logically entailed by its premises, i.e. if the premises are true, the conclusion cannot be false.
- 7. A distortion of the senses such that what we perceive is different from what exists.
- 8. Knowledge of propositions that can only be known to be true or false through sense experience.
- 9. Properties that physical objects have that are 'nothing but powers to produce various sensations in us'.
- 11. The branch of philosophy that asks questions about the fundamental nature of reality.
- 15. A statement that repeats the subject in the predicate, that 'says the same thing twice'. E.g. 'Green things are green'.
- 17. A statement or a move in an argument that suits the purpose at hand but has no independent support.
- 18. A situation in which we have justified true belief, but not knowledge, because the belief is only accidentally true, given the evidence that justifies it.
- 19. Mental images or representations of what is perceived, the 'content' of perceptual experience.
