Abstract
This paper outlines a contextualist version of logical pluralism. One motivation for this idea comes from a desire to block a principal argument against pluralism called ‘the meaning-variance objection’. The paper also gives two contextualist analyses of validity: one according to which ‘is valid’ is use-sensitive, another according to which it is assessment-sensitive. It argues that local pluralists should accept the former, while global pluralists should accept the latter.
