- Anti-logicality — The property, trait, or state of an utterance, reasoning, or conceptual system of being completely devoid of formal logic, violating the laws of reason, or containing insurmountable internal contradictions. In a structural sense, it represents the absurd or irrational character of an argumentative framework that prevents the establishment of a provable truth.
- Apperception — A superior and conscious psychological process through which a current perception is interpreted, clarified, and assimilated into the mind via the background of knowledge, memories, and experiences previously accumulated by the individual. Unlike simple perception, it implies voluntary attention, self-reflection, and structural localization within the personal conceptual framework.
- Appetitive — Stimulating, increasing, or relating to the appetite or to the tendencies to satisfy an organic drive; eupeptic. In classical psychology and scholastic philosophy, the term describes a faculty of the soul or a behavior oriented toward seeking and acquiring a desired object or fulfilling a biological need.
