Information
has gloss	(noun) any doctrine emphasizing the importance of the context in solving problems or establishing the meaning of terms contextualism
has gloss	eng: Contextualism describes a collection of views in philosophy which emphasize the context in which an action, utterance, or expression occurs, and argues that, in some important respect, the action, utterance, or expression can only be understood relative to that context. Contextualist views hold that philosophically controversial concepts, such as "meaning P," "knowing that P," "having a reason to A," and possibly even "being true" or "being right" only have meaning relative to a specified context. Some philosophers hold that context-dependence may lead to relativism; nevertheless, contextualist views are increasingly popular within philosophy.

Meaning
Catalan
has gloss	cat: El contextualisme és una teoria filosòfica que analitza el context en què es desenvolupa una acció per jutjar-la. Aplicada de forma estricta porta al relativisme, ja que el significat duna expressió o conducta varia tant segons el context que acaba per no tenir un sentit propi en ella mateixa. Les crítiques cap a aquest corrent subratllen aquest relativisme o bé argumenten que tota teoria és en certa mesura contextualista, ja que sempre shan de tenir en compte les circumstàncies en què va sorgir una idea o un acte.

Dutch
has gloss	nld: Epistemisch contextualisme is de epistemologische opvatting dat het concept kennis in verschillende contexten verschillende betekenissen heeft. Deze stroming verzet zich tegen de traditionele opvatting, die er vanuit gaat dat het concept kennis eenduidig is. Volgens sommige contextualisten is het contextualisme een adequaat alternatief voor scepticisme. Er bestaan diverse vormen van contextualisme, waaronder het functioneel contextualisme en het descriptieve contextualisme.
