Multiply observation points on a phenomenon to increase

Multiply observation points on a phenomenon to increase objectivity rather than seeking a single neutral vantage point.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from No Direct Access to Reality (no direct access to reality—all knowledge is mediated) and Understanding always involves the meeting of the (understanding involves meeting of horizons). Nietzsche's and Haraway's perspectivism prescribes perspective multiplication—following from the axiom that perspective-free observation is impossible.
