Theories should be independent of one another, absent any influence from any other theory that has yet to be proven. If two theories are evaluated simultaneously, the data would be considered flawed. Only after the…

The Validity of Perspectivism This philosophical study will examine the validity of perspectivism in relation to the conception of ideas. Nietzsche’s perspectivist point of view provides diversity in the understanding of religious practices. Plato’s notion of the Forms and the idea of a “God” as the source of “universal truths” cannot be valid, especially due to the variety of religious beliefs that exist in the world.
