When do we really “know” something? In this  episode, we dive into contextualism — the idea that whether we count as knowing depends on the situation we’re in. Think of it like this: you might say, “I know the train leaves at 8” when making casual plans. But if missing that train means losing your job, suddenly the standards for “knowing” feel a lot higher. We’ll explore why our sense of certainty shifts with the stakes, how philosophers use everyday examples to make sense of this, and what it means for the way we talk, argue, and make decisions.
