I follow a belief I call perspectivism which holds that all philosophical ideas or theories are perspectives which we can be used as tools to further develop other theories and come closer to truth. Since every perspective acts as a lens that can show more sides of a given truth. There's no reason to be a hold out of one position or the other, instead every position can be used to discover something new. I see all philosophical ideas as cognitive tools that can be used to dig for deeper truths and there is no real reason to hold a position of one over the other.

Yes! I can’t believe I found a like-minded person on this! No class mate so far was very interested in discussing a stance like this so I gotta say, feels good not to be alone

Perspectivism is no longer that curious about different views when it comes to monistic/foundationalist thinking.
