Description
Summary:This critical note deals with the book The Share of Perspectives (2025) by Emmanuel Alloa, written as a ‘defense of perspectivism in the age of post-truth’. According to the book’s central claim, the structure of perspective implies both division and sharing. I trace Alloa’s remarkable expedition into the history of ‘perspective’, in both the history of painting and the history of thought, and conclude by noting the limitations of Alloa’s primary focus on epistemological issues and by highlighting two different meanings of the term ‘conflict’ in Alloa’s emphasis of the conflictual sharing.
