This essay argues that unless the universality of knowledge could be proven, we have no choice other than admitting the contextual validity of knowledge and points out that physics and mathematics of 20th and 21st centuries do not encourage pursuing universal truths and the best we can achieve is knowledge consistent within a given context or paradigm. Therefore as the answer to the question “what is fundamental” this essay proposes that what is fundamental is always context dependent and no universally fundamental things can be found.
