Excellent coverage of contemporary contextualisms
Contextualism in epistemology holds to solve some of the sceptical scenarios and the riddles around cleverly disguised mules. Yet there are all kinds of contextualism. The title "Contextualisms in Epistemology" promises to cover the majority and the book really does. The 20 essays are (with one exception) from the conference "Contextualist Approaches to Epistemology" at the University of Mainz, ...

Contextualism in Psychological Research?: A Critical Review
E. J. Capaldi, Robert W. Proctor

Sage Publications, Inc, 1999

"Contextualism, in my view, will be the major theoretical issue in psychology (as well as in the social sciences generally) in the first quarter of the next century. The authors have written the best general account of the issues at stake, and it is my guess that this will be the most important and perhaps the best-selling item in your list for some years. I say this even though I am one of those dreadful contextualist excoriated by the ...

The Case for Contextualism: Knowledge, Skepticism, and Context, Vol. 1
Keith DeRose

Oxford University Press, USA, 2009

It's an obvious enough observation that the standards that govern whether ordinary speakers will say that someone knows something vary with context: What we are happy to call "knowledge" in some ("low-standards") contexts we'll deny is "knowledge" in other ("high-standards") contexts. But do these varying standards for when ordinary speakers will attribute knowledge, and for when they are in some important sense warranted in attributing ...

Morality without Foundations: A Defense of Ethical Contextualism

Mark Timmons

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

A Great New Option for Irrealists
This is the best book I've read in metaphysically naturalistic metaethics. Moral Nonnaturalism and Supernaturalism are, for good reasons, out of the picture for the metaphysical naturalist. This leaves only Moral Naturalism as a naturalistically acceptable position within the Realist camp. But there have been big problems with the Moral Naturalist's accommodation program ever since Moore up ...

Contextualism in Epistemology and the Philosophy of Language
Any utterance of a sentence occurs within a context. The speaker and the listener have certain presuppositions, a given background. Most sentences are embedded in a discussion, speech, an argumentation, or a paragraph. Contextualism in epistemology maintains that whether one knows is relative to the context of the sentence token. Twelve essays and an introduction by the editors scrutinize ...

Working Intersubjectively: Contextualism in Psychoanalytic Practice (Psychoanalytic Inquiry Book)

1 review
Donna M. Orange, George E. Atwood, ...

The Analytic Press, 2001

intersubjective meditations
Orange, Atwood, and Stolorow have put together a quite well-written and thoughtful meditation on intersubjectivity in psychoanalysis. They include a revolutionary chapter which philosophically reconceptualizes psychoanalysis as a form of "practice" or "ethical know-how" rather than a mechanical, programmatic "technique." There is also a very striking, detailed portrayal of the ...

Contextualism and Understanding in Behavioral Science: Implications for Research and Theory

Praeger Publishers, 1986

This book introduces "contextualism," an emerging paradigm that has generated much interest and excitement in psychology, sociology, communications research, and other areas of behavioral science. Unlike behaviorism which tries to predict behavior based on a specific set of variables, contextualism asserts that human beings react and learn in a variety of situations and there is no single best kind of behavior. They challenge the man as machine ...

The Diamondsutra's' Logic of Not And a Critique of Katz's Contextualism: Toward a Non-dualist Philosophy
Shigenori Nagatomo

Edwin Mellen Press, 2006

The "logic of not" proposes a holistic way of understanding things, which is contrasted with Aristotelean either-or logic, while "A Critique of Katz's Contextualism" examines Katz's contextualist's position from the point of view of the logic of not. The "logic of not" is a careful philosophical examination of the Diamonsutra, a Mayahana Buddhist sutra, which has influenced the formation of Zen Buddhism, while "A Critique of Katz's ...

Mind's We: Contextualism in Cognitive Psychology
Diane Gillespie

Southern Illinois University Press, 1992

In a journey to the theoretical roots of human psychology, Diane Gillespie defends the concept of contextualism in a field in which mechanism has prevailed. Gillespie explains both theories in a historical overview of cognitive psychology and then contrasts them in three chapters on visual perception, memory, and categorization. She clarifies the inadequacy of mechanism as the sole model of cognition by including narratives based on her own life ...
