In his Stanford Encyclopedia entry on Epistemic Contextualism, Patrick Rysiew says this:
Likewise, just because EC is a thesis about knowledge-sentences’ truth conditions—namely, that they are context-variable—it is not a thesis about knowledge itself. … So it is misleading too when EC … is described, as it sometimes is, as the view that whether one knows depends upon context …
EC, then, is an epistemological theory because, but only because, it concerns sentences used in attributing (/denying) “knowledge”, as opposed to those employing some non-epistemological term(s); it is not a theory about any such epistemic property/relation itself. (Rysiew, ‘Epistemic Contextualism’, §2)
