Multiperspectivity

Multiperspectivity (sometimes polyperspectivity) is a characteristic of narration or representation, where more than one perspective is represented to the audience.

[4] However, a similar concept is applied to historical process, in which multiple different perspectives are used to evaluate events.

[7] The use of multiple perspectives arose because educators and scholars from the recent decades questioned the validity of one-sided historical narratives.

Good historians must not just focus on one side of the story, instead they must look into different sources to know if the facts corroborate with each other and to produce more accurate interpretations.

"In history, multiple perspectives are usual and have to be tested against evidence, and accounted for in judgments and conclusions."
