The Ontological Turn
The Ontological Turn is a shift in social sciences and humanities that emphasizes understanding different ways of being and realities rather than just focusing on human interpretations and experiences. It suggests that various cultures and societies perceive the world in unique ways, which shape their beliefs, practices, and interactions. Instead of viewing reality as a single, objective truth, the Ontological Turn encourages recognition of multiple, often conflicting realities, each with its own validity, urging a deeper exploration of how these different perspectives influence our understanding of the world.
