A comprehensive philosophical framework holding that everything is from a perspective—that there is no view from nowhere, no neutral standpoint, no perspective-free access to reality. Panperspectivism goes beyond perspectivism (which acknowledges that knowledge is perspectival) to insist that all experience, all knowledge, all reality-as-we-know-it is irreducibly perspectival. This doesn't mean reality is arbitrary or subjective; it means that reality appears through perspectives, that different perspectives reveal different aspects, and that no single perspective captures the whole. Panperspectivism demands that we cultivate the capacity to move between perspectives, to hold multiple views together, and to recognize that the richness of reality is expressed in the plurality of perspectives through which it is known.
