Knowledge Perspectivism

A philosophical framework holding that knowledge is always from a perspective—that what we know depends on our epistemic situation, our conceptual framework, our cultural background, our personal standpoint. Knowledge perspectivism rejects the idea of a view from nowhere. A scientist knows through instruments and theories; an artist knows through intuition and craft; a historian knows through documents and interpretation. Perspectivism doesn't make knowledge subjective; it recognizes that each perspective reveals genuine aspects of reality and that objectivity is achieved from perspectives, not from nowhere.

Example: "His knowledge perspectivism meant he could hold together scientific knowledge and indigenous knowledge—not as competitors, but as knowledge from different perspectives, each valid in its domain."

Knowledge Multiperspectivism

A philosophical framework holding that genuine understanding requires multiple, irreducible knowledge perspectives—that no single way of knowing captures the fullness of reality and that different ways of knowing are complementary. Knowledge multiperspectivism rejects the reduction of knowledge to any one form (e.g., scientific) and insists that experiential, traditional, artistic, practical, and spiritual knowledge each reveal dimensions that others miss. This framework demands that we cultivate epistemic pluralism, recognizing that the richness of reality exceeds any single epistemic framework.

Example: "Her knowledge multiperspectivism meant she drew on scientific data, indigenous knowledge, personal experience, and artistic expression in her research—not because she was undisciplined, but because each way of knowing revealed something the others couldn't access."

Knowage

Something that you know, but isn't necessarily useful in most situations. Where knowledge usually implies wisdom, knowage just implies you spent too much time on stuff.

If you can name all the discarded side characters in Dragon Ball, then that's some serious knowage!
