A framework asserting that logical and epistemic judgments are always made from a specific perspective—there is no “view from nowhere.” Every knower brings theoretical commitments, conceptual schemes, cultural background, and situated interests that shape what they take as logical or justified. Perspectivist logico‑epistemology does not fall into relativism; rather, it argues that objectivity is achieved by being explicit about one’s perspective and by triangulating among multiple perspectives. It explains why two equally rational experts can disagree, why paradigm shifts feel like conversions, and why understanding requires empathy across different standpoints. This approach values pluralism without abandoning rigor.
