Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with the importance of the pragmatic context, both from a contextualized and a decontextualized perspective. Starting from various definitions, the context is analyzed and explained. The paper also offers a descriptive attempt which insists on a systematic design, beginning with a so-called meta-context. Context awarness or context ignorance could be the next step towards the end of a ladder assuring the previously mentioned vantage point. It is evident that human beings are fully adapted to becoming part of a process naturally, close to unintentionally. Until a certain stage, things tend to be grabbed without suplimentary effort. This leads to the idea that people can use context even without considering it. But what happens if one’s desire is to intake knowledge or adjust the implication in the mechanism on purpose? It is this point that suggests a deliberate consideration of the matter.
