Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: Extra-cognitive principles of selections, practical considerations, life-motives and a number of other criteria are to be brought forward to justify the retention and selection of one view in preference to others.

ref: 1963, Iqbal - Volume 12, page 32:
text: One might speak of networks as characterized by multilogism, both at the macrolevel of their connectivity and in the microlevel interactions of each node in the network. Dialogism is a generic term that has been imposed in translation to label the applications of Mikhail Bakhtin's ideas. These applications stress interaction and develop Bakhtin's original metaphor of differing points of view preseneted in a conversation.
ref: 2014, Andrew Herman, Thomas Swiss, The World Wide Web and Contemporary Cultural Theory, →ISBN:
text: However painful, this dialogism or even this multilogism—with its corollary risk of disintegration—is what makes the two authors' philosophical autobiographical texts so unsettling, enigmatic and fascinating, but also so pioneering formally, thematically and ideologically: both are indeed distinctly Romantic but their appraoch prefigures in many ways (post)modernist thinking and what would, by the late 1970s, begin to be called autofiction.

text: Part I offers revealing examples of apparently incompatible interpretations and, in the spirit of multiplism, offers several strategies for rendering them admissible.
ref: 2010, Michael Krausz, Is There a Single Right Interpretation?, →ISBN, page 5:
text: To put it briefly, multiplism thinks reality is multiply realizable. For example, the highest good is conceptualized in radically different ways in different schemas of life. Multiplism holds that it is not incoherent to maintain both that (i) these different ways are irreducible to a higher-order universal; and (ii) the validity of one does not imply the invalidity of others.
