Contextualism

**Contextualism** is a theoretical position in epistemology and architectural criticism that maintains that the meaning, truth, justification, or critical evaluation of propositions, utterances, or built forms is essentially relative to, and must be interpreted in terms of, the specific linguistic, social, historical, and physical context in which they occur, rather than by appeal to context-independent standards.
