This open access book - as the title suggests - explores some of
the historical roots and epistemological ramifications of
perspectivism. Perspectivism has recently emerged in philosophy of
science as an interesting new position in the debate between
scientific realism and anti-realism. But there is a lot more to
perspectivism than discussions in philosophy of science so far have
suggested. Perspectivism is a much broader view that emphasizes how
our knowledge (in particular our scientific knowledge of nature) is
situated; it is always from a human vantage point (as opposed to
some Nagelian "view from nowhere"). This edited collection brings
together a diverse team of established and early career scholars
across a variety of fields (from the history of philosophy to
epistemology and philosophy of science). The resulting nine essays
trace some of the seminal ideas of perspectivism back to Kant,
Nietzsche, the American Pragmatists, and Putnam, while the second
part of the book tackles issues concerning the relation between
perspectivism, relativism, and standpoint theories, and the
implications of perspectivism for epistemological debates about
veritism, epistemic normativity and the foundations of human
knowledge.
