Talk:Contextualism

message: The intro to this article says that there are at least three different uses of the word "contextualism": philosophy of language, ethics, and criminology.  Shouldn't this article be disambiguation entry that links to these three different uses of the word?  Perhaps the first two should be in one article, since they are both philosophy-related.  But the last seems like it should be differentiated. Any objections? - Jaymay 07:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Suggestion:  Add info about how contextualism in epistemology is supposed to solve several problems in epistemology. - Jaymay 07:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Solutions to puzzles?

message: I recently made some changes to this article.  I didn't consult the Talk page first, only because there was nothing here.  Hopefully I'm not imposing.  I added references, which I'm sure is okay, and I tried to clean up and add to the epistemology part. - Jaymay 07:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: ; Quote from Contextualism

; Both share the same spirit, ain't they?
Recently I created Category:Contextualism, including both Contextualism and Post-structuralism, together with many others of course, on the basis of such a shared spirit as illustrated above. See the talk page for the minimal defence. To my greatest dismay, however, a horrible vandalism or more precisely destructionism has been ignited by one who did not know even the spelling and locating of Contextualism. The bad money drives out the good, without persuading why. Is it what Wikipedia is all about in reality? --gybag 03:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

WWWhat is "contextualism", are there any sources to define it, or 
justify 
the inclusion of there articles? ... or is this just OR? Pete.Hurd 15:20, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Contextualism is a legitimate name for several different views in different parts of philosophy (philosophy of language, philosophy of truth, epistemology, and ethics).  What any of those views has to do with bionics or the world wide web is beyond me.  This category would be legitimate if limited to the philosophical positions that go by the name contextualism, but we probably don't have enough material to warrant a category.  I'm guessing this category some attempt at a grand philosophy that would run askew of WP:OR.  --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 20:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hmmm, so I did, but I really don't see why for example: Hypertext, World Wide Web, Dynamical system, Nature versus nurture and David Bohm (to mention just a few) fall into this category, it seems kinda senseless. Pete.Hurd 18:16, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, you recently added lots of articles to the "contexualism" category.  There's no article on "Contexualism" or any other sources to explain what this category is, or otherwise make this category useful. Can you supply reliable sources to support the inclusion of these articles in this category? Pete.Hurd 14:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The previous post proposes outright deletion. Mostly, I agree: it's someone's class essay, and probably part of a more extensive content-forking program. 
* "Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not a textbook. The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach subject matter. It is not appropriate to create or edit articles that read as textbooks. These belong on our sister projects, such as Wikibooks, Wikisource, and Wikiversity."
* The bulk of the page has only a few footnotes, causing me to believe that either those sources have been pilfered wholesale (IP vio), or the original editor is making stuff up (OR vio) or cherry-picking available sources to make something new (synth vio).
* None of the citations meets Wikipedia format standards, and nobody (since 2007) has cared enough to fix this.
* That References and further reading cruft is much too bulky, seeing the article (even with all that padding) is only 17K. Unless explicitly cited in context, choose two or three and cut the rest.
It's been a decade without salvage, so in support of the 1,920 viewers in the past month, I say they should be chased elsewhere to pilfer for their Phil 1-01 class. Cut the unsourced conjecture, leaving something that either can be shifted to the Wiktionary or merrily deleted.Weeb Dingle (talk) 20:48, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
