Hello,
Help is needed regarding the use of italic, Capital Letters or 'Capital Letters' when referring to terms or concepts.
For example –

  1. Oedipus Complex, Oedipus Complex or 'Oedipus Complex' or Oedipus complex etc
  2. How should the terms should be written ('Critical-Idealism' , 'materialistic-skeptical' )?
"I will show that although Freudenthal's 'Critical-Idealism' and Jung's 'materialistic-skeptical'."

  1. Music, Philosophy… or Music, Philosophy? "This intellectual function is at the heart of every human capability, for good and evil - music, philosophy, art, war, envy, greed, poetry and murder"
  2. 'intermediate betwixt' , intermediate betwixt or Intermediate Betwixt ?
"Hume defined this imperfect concept as 'intermediate betwixt'".

Many Thanks!

There's a problem here as you will find different usage in different texts. The better known a term is, the more likely it is to appear without ' '. I would search for the term in something like Google Scholar and see if there is a consensus and do what the majority of other writers appear to do.
