The Language of the course (part I)

I think it is grand idea to become familiar with the language of Ethics.
Take the time to look up the meaning of these words and have a working knowledge of the definition of each one.  Remember, find the Philosophical definition of these words and phrases.  Robert Audi wrote a good old-school book that can be helpful, and I am sure all can be found on the Internet.  All else fails, ask the good Doctor that posted them.
