Contextualisms in Epistemology

The book "Contextualisms in Epistemology" offers a comprehensive collection of twenty original essays and critical commentaries that address various aspects of contextualism in epistemology. Contextualism has established itself as one of the leading paradigms in contemporary epistemology, with the central thesis stating that there is no context-independent standard for knowledge. Instead, all attributions of knowledge are context-dependent. The contributions in this volume, written by leading philosophers in the field, illuminate the central problems and perspectives of semantic contextualism as well as its main alternatives. The editors' introduction outlines the historical development of the movement and provides an analysis of the arguments and main positions. This anthology is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the challenges and possibilities of contextualism.
