Many famous philosophers have offered that the perseverance of truth is essential to creating value in a human life. Often, there are many unanswered questions that can get in the way of people pursuing truth. For example, what defines a person, what is reality, and what is Reality? Object identification poses an issue when defining human value and capability. There are theories like, originated theory, viewer theory, multiple viewer theory, and object identification theory, and contextualism that help humans address this problem. But there is one that stands out among the rest when defining what makes a person a person. Contextualism is the best perspective when discussing object identification and search for the truth because it best explains

In Ethics Seminar, the question what makes a person a person came up, and focused on what makes a person a person versus something like a chair. Contextualism supports the idea that living things are self aware because they base their judgements or context. While the other theories can also help to answer this question, contextualism stands out. To add to this, the more experience and knowledge a person requires, the more using contexts and contextualism is oblivious to the person. According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “The typical EC view has it that as the stakes rise or the skeptical doubts become more serious, the contextual standard gets more demanding. It requires S to be in a better position if the attributor claim, ‘S knows that p’, is to express a truth (Epistemic Contextualism, 2007).” In the long run not only does contextualism contribute an understanding to defining something, but it helps with the idea of knowledge, as well to best agree with our everyday knowledge-attributing …show more content…
And in retrospect it is useful when trying to answer really big philosophical question about life and why humans behave and think the way they do. The mysteries of this world are still uncertain, but contextualism helps humans search for Truth in the world around them. While there are many theories that unlock those puzzles, contextualism stands out in multiple ways. Contextualism is the best perspective when discussing object identification and search for the truth because it best explains our epistemic judgments, it provides a strong rebuttal to Solipsism, it supports an answer on what makes a person a person, and our sensory information is meaningless on its own in
