Anyone know of an epistemological theory besides Objectivism’s that treats context, both in the sense of “the sum of things you already know from which further knowledge can arise/be made intelligible” and in the sense of “the particular goals and scope of action of the knower”, as fundamentally/inextricably an aspect of all knowledge?
Intersectional feminism? Knowledge, aka. reality-based conceptualizations of things, is not independent of the systems within which the conceptualization is done, and the systems themselves lend themselves towards certain kinds of action, and there are knowledges and actions that are effectively impossible within carelessly constructed conceptualizations, and this is kind of a low-effort post so I haven’t bothered to think things through much more thoroughly than “this sounds really familiar” (possibly a little bit relevant link)
