Contextualists, such as stewart cohen (1988, 1999), keith derose (1995) and david lewis (1996), offer yet another way of explaining.This article surveys the main arguments for contextualism, describes a variety of different approaches to developing the view, and discusses how contextualism has been used to treat the problem of radical skepticism.My focus in this paper is on the most widely discussed form of contextualism, called attributor contextualism (henceforth 'contextualism').Ec is roughly the view that what is expressed by a knowledge attribution aE? a claim to the effect that s knows that p aE? depends partly on something in the context of the attributor, and hence the view is often called 'attributor contextualism'.Epistemic contextualism (ec) is a recent and hotly debated position.
The first part of the book examines arguments for contextualism and develops baumann's version.Proponents of contextualism argue that, in some important respect, the action, utterance, or expression can only be understood relative to that context.Sceptics raise radical possibilities, such as that we might be dreaming.After clarifying just what the position involves, this entry describes the major theoretical.Contextualism is an umbrella term for a wide variety of semantic theories.
