Context
The concept of context is considered, which, along with the concepts of reality and normativity, is the central concept of contextual realism. Th relations between contextuality, normativity, conceptuality and nonpredeterminacy, between the concepts of context and relevant (implicit) knowledge are established. Examples of contextuality are given, in particular, in quantum mechanics. It is shown that contextuality is an antidote against relativism. A critique of epistemological correlationism is offered from the point of view of contextual realism. The question of criteria of existence/reality is considered.
