The epistemological concept of plurality of perspectives emphasizes that there can be different, equally justified ways of looking at an object. Just as is the case with sensory perception, these can appear very differently, possibly incompatible while still being accurate aspects of the same thing. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's Monadology (1714) contains corresponding considerations on perspectivity.[1]

The german integrative physician Peter Matthiessen describes for a medical pluralism the justification of a simultaneous existence of different perspectives in the sense of different, but basically equal and mutually complementary scientific approaches, in a certain contrast to a paradigm pluralism, in which in the confrontation of different paradigms a respective better one prevails against inferior ones.[2]

Different aesthetic manifestations of a work of art (Henry Moore, Locking Piece, Duisburg) depending on the direction of view (according to Matthiessen[3])
