(see also 'multiplicity') the third of four levels in Deanna Kuhn's model of the development of epistemological understanding
"…the child later moves to a multiplist position where it comes to appreciate that absolute and certain knowledge of the world is not possible, as knowledge is generated within minds, which admits scope for subjectivity in all human knowledge. …Given that assertions cannot simply be considered true or false – as how things seem often depends upon one's viewpoint, or the perspective adopted – there is then considered to be no sense in seeking to apply critical thinking to evaluate various assertions." (Taber, 2020)
