I don't advocate isms, but look at tools and techniques.
Multiple points of view is an invaluable, essential
technique. You cannot build a house without giving
at least three views, Plan, Front Elevation, and Side Elevation.
But, multiple points of view must not be mistaken for license
to misunderstand what is seen from any point of view or
mislead others about what is seen from there -- all of which
cultural relativists like to do, and apparently feel a right
to do. http://www.SocialTechnology.Org/pofv.html is an old
page on this, but doesn't emphasize enough that you must
be accurate about what you do see from your point of view.
