Daniel Dennett argues that one benefit of having moral considerations in our conceptual ____ is that they can serve as conversation-stoppers: their value is to bring deliberations to a close.

We are ____ creatures, always able to ask for justification, and this is a trait that has served us well in many contexts.

The problem is that upon receiving a perfectly good answer we can always ____ respond "Okay, but what justifies that?" —and we can potentially do so endlessly, never coming to a decision, forever hesitant and doubting, undone by our own rational capacity.

This is potentially as ____ a problem for our own private deliberations as for our public interpersonal ones.

Dennett suggests that it is useful to have "consideration-generator-squelchers": ____ that, once introduced, stop any further deliberation in its tracks.

"That would be morally wrong!" would appear to ____ in this manner.

Once the claim is accepted ____ there is no need or room for seeking further justification: the action mustn't be done, even if it is tempting, and that's all there is to it.

When the concept of expansion gets mentioned, it is ____ to resist the urge to picture the Universe with a finite and growing boundary.

Our natural instinct is to wonder what the ____ could possibly be expanding into.

Unfortunately, the only answer I can give ____ is the one that I am sure will satisfy you the least, but let me say it anyway: the Universe expands into nothingness.

To be ____ accurate, the Universe does not expand into anything.

It ____ expands by itself within itself.

In contrast to our inflating balloon or, say, a pipe leak that causes ____ to spread into a room that exists in its own right, our expanding Universe is not spilling into another separate entity, nor even another dimension.

It is the structure of space and time that stretches, a structure that has always ____, at least since the Big Bang.

This structure or fabric of space and ____ is elastic and malleable.

Just as it can pull us apart as we fall ____ a black hole, it can also expand and cause anything and anyone embedded in it to move farther apart.

Scholars have demonstrated that the gestures hearing ____ produce while they are speaking are systematically made at the same time with speech such that language and gesture must be considered "co-expressive".

This tightly integrated pairing of ____ and gesture enables speakers to conceptualize and formulate their thoughts in terms of both the "categorical" requirements of language, and the "imagistic" possibilities of gesture.

For example, in describing an event, one must decide if the event has been completed or is ongoing if the language being spoken at that moment has a verbal affix for each meaning and ____ or the other must be chosen.

This kind of ____ is characteristic of language as a semiotic system.

According to McNeil and Duncan, ____ is different from language in that it does not present the speaker with such choices.

Instead, it ____ a kind of glue, which helps unite linguistic elements in a larger semiotic expression, which, as a whole, shares important characteristics with the represented objects.

In this ____, speech and gesture are not redundant nor is one a "translation" of the other.

Rather, the minimal ____ unit for the expression of thought is a combination of the two: it is "imagistic-categorial" in nature.

To ____ expert knowledge, one needs to become a member of the relevant group of knowledge bearers, for which I will use the term "epistemic communities."

A newcomer ____ from experts and is socialized into the common practices of the relevant epistemic community.

Often there are admittance processes, combined with tests of a candidate's ____.

In the premodern era, epistemic communities were often kept secret, with strict ____ of loyalty for new members, not least because of fears that specialized knowledge would fall into the "wrong hands."

Some traces of these older ____ may still be present today, but on the whole, the ideal has shifted to openness among the members of epistemic communities, and also, to some extent, toward outsiders.

Nonetheless, for most outsiders even completely transparent practices do not lift the veil behind which such forms of knowledge are hidden—without the relevant training and acquisition of skills, which often take many years, one simply cannot make sense of the ____ that is being shared.

Other, more active strategies are ____ to make certain forms of knowledge as "accessible" as is realistically possible.

Carstensen's (1995) socioemotional ____ theory looks at individuals' goals as a lifelong process that strengthens and matures with ageing.

In relation to his motivational conceptual framework, Higgins (2014) proposes that motivation may even attain its highest levels in the later stages of life, subject to the balance and organisation of one's ____ in relation to life priorities.

Building on this foundation, more recent research ____ deeply into additional factors influencing well-being in later adulthood, particularly emphasising the role of self-worthiness, and the overall positive impact of developing a well-rounded self-view in life course transitions.

Together, these studies suggest that both goal alignment and a positive self-perception are crucial for ____ motivation and overall well-being in later life.

In fact, third-age learners exhibit a higher degree of selectivity when it comes to determining which goals to pursue and how to allocate their ____ towards those specific priorities.

Older adults demonstrate a stronger sense of ____ purpose and self-fulfilment.

They do it their way, and their way is an accumulation of winning and personalized combinations in effectively relating motives all together at different degrees ____ to their life contexts.

Writing of a commentary by Lenin on Leo Tolstoy, the critic Pierre ____ agrees with Lenin's claim that Tolstoy's work holds up a mirror to the Russian revolution of 1905.

Yet this mirroring, Macherey argues, is a complex affair, by no means a direct reflection of the ____ as it stands.

If literary works are in some sense mirrors, they are mirrors marked by ____ and blind spots.

In fact, they are as ____ for what they don't reflect —for their exclusions and distortions —as for what they do.

There are things which do not and cannot figure in the mirror —in the case of Tolstoy, certain contradictions in society of which he ____ not be conscious.

Even so, the mirror makes us aware of these absences, which ____ become faintly present.

It is as though it allows us to see more clearly what isn't ____.

There is also no reason to assume that what we see in the mirror must ____ a coherent whole.

On the contrary, it may be in ____ and discordant.

'The mirror is doubtless defective; the outlines will ____ be disturbed; the reflection faint or confused', remarks George Eliot in Adam Bede, reproaching the kind of naive realism which holds that art (or mirrors) always tell it like it is.

A mirror offers us a version of reality, but it does so from a viewpoint ____ cannot be captured in the mirror itself.

And because this viewpoint is invisible to us, we might be tempted to ____ it as beyond question.
