 We show here that the Plotkin-style of defining
 beta-reduction (based on congruence rules) is
 equivalent to the Felleisen-Hieb-style representation
 (based on contexts).
 
 The interesting point in this theory is that contexts
 do not contain any binders. On the other hand the operation
 of filling a term into a context produces an alpha-equivalent
 term.
