There is a social dimension to contextualism that we have ignored with dreadful results. |
Let us turn now, though, to subjunctive conditionals contextualism. |
In very general terms, epistemological contextualism maintains that whether one knows is somehow relative to context. |
Taking fallibilism seriously heads off the charge that contextualism encourages strongly anti-rationalist positions such as relativism. |
In fact, it seems even worse if contextualism about the meaning of theoretical terms is adopted. |
Similarly, contextualism and organicism are world hypotheses that tend to see things in terms of wholes, even though they are preoccupied with different dimensions. |
