epistemic contexts

Epistemic contexts refer to the ways in which our knowledge, beliefs, and understanding are shaped by the situations we find ourselves in. In general knowledge, this means that what we know can depend on factors like time, place, or the information available. For instance, a statement might be true in one context but not in another based on what people are expected to know at that time. Understanding epistemic contexts helps us recognize how knowledge is not absolute and can be influenced by varying circumstances and perspectives.
