Sumario:In the article, the author argues that contrastivism resolves the main philosophical problems of contextualism, by employing a better linguistic model. He states three theses that he takes to define contextualism about knowledge, and three parallel but contrasting theses that he uses to define contrastivism, his alternative to contextualism. He then argues that each of his three theses is superior to its counterpart. He emphasizes that his contrasting sets of theses are designed to leave both of the doctrines he is comparing neutral about the details of the analysis of knowledge.
