Opinion and Perspective: An Epistemological Analysis from Hermeneutics, Analytic Epistemology, and Contemporary Perspectivism.

This article analyzes the relationship between opinion and perspective through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates hermeneutics, analytic epistemology, social epistemology, and scientific perspectivism. Drawing on the work of Gadamer, Putnam, Quine, Goldman, Fricker, and Massimi, it proposes a recursive model in which opinion is understood as a situated epistemic act and perspective as a dynamic system that articulates historical horizons, conceptual schemes, belief networks, cognitive processes, and social structures. The study follows a theoretical-conceptual design appropriate for the humanities and adapted to the IMRaD format. The results show that opinion is not an isolated judgment but an update of perspective, and that perspective is transformed through the historical accumulation of opinions. The article concludes that the co-constitution of opinion and perspective provides a robust framework for understanding judgment formation in scientific, social, and hermeneutical contexts.
