Perspectivism is the philosophical view that all perception takes place from a specific perspective. It is sometimes contrasted with objectivism.

Education as understanding-things-foreign began, as I mentioned, with the founding of universities in the Middle Ages, in the modern sense of “university” as an institution devoted to the unfettered expansion of a diversity of intellectual horizons and understandings.
