Epistemological Relativity

with translations

Epistemological relativity, both strong ᏋᎡ™ and weak 𐌄Ʀ™, has been associated with the stratified perspectivist or standpoint epistemology systematized by the writer in ƉɱⱤ (Dialectical metaRealism). A classical illustration is found in the Jain parable of the blind men and the elephant.

ᏋᎡ is exemplified by, to cite just three examples: phenomenological meditation (ꚰꛗ™), self–crit aka self–critique (𝕊ᄃ™), and heterodox judgmental rationality (𖥷꛲𖨙™). 𐌄Ʀ may be witnessed in the ethical tragedy of moral relativism.

That Jain teaching is called many-sidedness:
