语境认识论是在解决怀疑难题中形成的一种新的认识论,它主张任何命题、知识语句、问题表达都有其特定语境,而且对其语境是敏感的。不过,这种认识论在解决怀疑难题时遇到了一些困境,包括:语境高低区分困境、真信念确证困境、主体敏感性困境、相关选择排除困境和事实确证困境。如何克服这些困境是语境认识论面临的重大问题。
In contemporary philosophy, contextual epistemology is a theory of knowledge attribution, which holds that knowing or not-knowing can be justified in its context. But skepticalists think that knowing or not-knowing does not depend on its context, and does not need to be justified. Epistemic contextualism, which is called contextual epistemology by this author, puts forward some criterions to solve skeptical puzzle, but it still meets some puzzles, such as puzzle of high-low context, of justification of real belief, of sensitivity of context, of elimination of relevant alternative and of justification of facts. How to solve these puzzles is an improtant task for contextualism.
