meetaspecten

Meetaspecten is a neologism that appears in limited online discussions to describe a methodological stance in which a phenomenon is analyzed from multiple simultaneous aspects rather than a single dimension. The term is formed from meet and aspects, signaling the bringing together of diverse viewpoints in a single analytic frame.

In practice, metaaspecten prompts researchers to consider temporal, epistemic, modal, social, and contextual dimensions at once, with the aim of reducing biases that arise from focusing on one perspective alone.

Its suggested applications span fields such as philosophy of mind, linguistics, and human–computer interaction, where researchers might examine how a behavior, utterance, or interface operates across time, mood, and social context.

Status and reception are limited; there is no formal definition or wide consensus, and the term is mainly used informally in niche discussions. Proponents view metaaspecten as a flexible heuristic for comprehensive analysis, while critics warn of vagueness if the additional aspects are not explicitly defined.
