What if all truth is context-dependent?
This paper argues that truth is by nature context-dependent – that no truth can be applied regardless of context. I call this “strong contextualism”. Some objections to this are considered and rejected, principally: that there are universal truths given to us by physics, logic and mathematics; and that claiming “no truths are universal” is self-defeating.

Genomes are the blueprints of all living organisms. From a meagre 500,000 base pairs in the bacterium Mycoplasma or a respectable 3.3 billion in humans, up to a dazzling 149 billion base pairs in the Japanese flower Paris japonica; genomes underpin the mystery of life. Eager to better grapple with that mystery, most biologists will spend time browsing journals for papers that present new genome...
