Exploring Poly-Perspectivism: Using Multiple Perspectives for a More Comprehensive Understanding of Reality

I was pleased to present my paper “Exploring Poly-Perspectivism: Using Multiple Perspectives for a More Comprehensive Understanding of Reality” at the ISSS 2025 Conference.

The work explores how we can engage with diverse perspectives more productively without collapsing them into a single truth or drifting into relativism. It introduces a new meta-framework that evaluates perspectives by the human needs they satisfy or the harms they help prevent, offering a human-centred complement to systems science.

If you’re interested in interdisciplinary collaboration, epistemic coordination, or the cognitive dynamics behind complex decision-making, this work may be of interest. You can download the following:
