The [[Epistemology|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 [[sensual perception|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.
