It is argued in this paper that the phenomena of context and context-dependency result from subject-dependency of conception. A conception (in German Auffassung), is a mental state, intentionally oriented towards a state of affairs. It constitutes the fact that somebody conceives of something or conceives of something as something. Making use of this origin of contextuality, context-dependent signification can be systematically analyzed and the modelling and handling of contexts in knowledge and information processing can be grounded on a sound conceptual and methodological basis.
