A principle that reason is always exercised from a particular standpoint, and that what appears reasonable from one perspective may appear unreasonable from another. It encourages reflexivity about the situatedness of our reasoning practices and the recognition that different perspectives can each have their own internal rationality.
Example: “The principle of perspective reason helps us understand why two experts with different training can honestly reach opposite conclusions—their reasoning is rational from their respective perspectives.”
