Peter Klein

Peter Klein is a philosopher who contributes to discussions about knowledge and justification, particularly through his work in contextualism and skepticism. Justification Theory explores how we justify our beliefs, while Klein's contextualism suggests that the standards for justification can vary based on context. This means that what counts as a justified belief in one situation might not be justified in another. Klein argues that our understanding of knowledge is sensitive to contextual factors, challenging the idea of absolute standards and highlighting how our justification for beliefs can depend on the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
