Epistemological pluralism

Epistemological pluralism (or methodological pluralism) is the view that different epistemological methodologies are necessary to attain a full description of the world. It arose in opposition to the purely reductionistic enterprise of many fields of science and realism in mathematics.

According to David Fideler, Goethe was an epistemological pluralist.^[1]
