Perspectivism is a philosophical viewpoint that asserts that knowledge and truth are always contingent upon the perspectives of individuals or groups. This idea suggests that there is no single, objective standpoint from which to view reality; instead, our understanding is shaped by our various experiences, backgrounds, cultures, and contexts. Prominently associated with the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, perspectivism challenges the notion of absolute truths and instead posits that what we perceive as truth is influenced by our subjective viewpoints.
