 Contextual empiricism

Contextual empiricism is an approach in philosophy, particularly in the philosophy of science, that emphasizes the importance of context in understanding empirical observations and scientific practices. It suggests that our understanding of empirical data and scientific claims cannot be fully detached from the social, historical, and theoretical contexts in which they arise.
