Thinking in Perspective. Philosophy as the Art of Seeing
Every vision is a spatial decision. This formula, which blends geometry, art and philosophy, captures the core intuition behind perspectivism: what we see – and more radically, what we can think – depends on where we stand, on the position we occupy in the world, on the angle from which we observe it. There is no absolute gaze: every vision is situated, every knowledge is partial, every truth is oriented.
This Call for Papers invites contributions that reflect on perspectivism as a cross-disciplinary philosophical category, a grammar of contemporary thought, and a generative metaphor for rethinking the relationships between knowledge, interpretation, and value. We welcome essays that explore the genealogy, structure, and implications of perspectival thinking.
