Early view (before volume publication)

The aim of this article is to present the Concept of Perspective Resolution (CoPR). This theoretical model seeks to identify the conditions under which constructive discourse becomes possible—not by eliminating differences between positions, but by articulating them in a way that reveals a shared plane of meaning. CoPR allows one to diagnose the level of generality at which agreement remains attainable by identifying a kind of “least common multiple” of perspectives, i.e. a common ground between divergent standpoints. The proposed method aims to facilitate better mutual understanding in philosophical, political, and interpersonal contexts alike. As a tool for constructive discourse—defined as an exchange in which participants genuinely strive for the best possible agreement—CoPR complements Paul Grice’s theory of communicative cooperation. The article also illustrates how the model can be applied in practice, using examples from key philosophical disputes, including those between Viktor Frankl discussing some views of Sigmunt Freud or Robert Nozick that of John Rawls.
