Contextual empiricism

Contextual empiricism is a theory about validating scientific knowledge. It is the view that scientific knowledge is shaped by contextual values as well as constitutive ones.[1] The contextual values of science stem from « the social and cultural environment in which science is done » while constitutive values determine « what constitutes acceptable scientific practice or scientific method. »[2] Contextual values can determine for example the research topic one chose to study.[3]
