contextualism  

Definición

  • Contextualism is a pragmatic philosophy that uses the ongoing act in context as its model or root metaphor. Acts of this kind are historical, purposive, and situated. For example, “going to the store” implies a historical reason for going (e.g., not enough food in the house), a current purpose (e.g., needing to make the evening meal), and a situational context (e.g., a place to go from and to, money to make the purchase, time to get there).
