Abstract

The major objections to the view so far presented would center around the charge that it is subjectivistic, commits the genetic fallacy, is, in fact, anthropomorphic, is guilty of the intentionalist fallacy, and perhaps of a romantic "nature nostalgia". Against such charges from certainty-oriented philosophies like neo-Thomism, transcendental phenomenology, and some versions of Marxism, we would argue that explanations as such are partial, and the difference among philosophies is not that one of them has complete explanations and the others do not, but rather that one recognizes that explanations are partial and the others do not. This is but to reaffirm the importance of contextualism from another point of view.
