To a 5th grader, Integral Pluralistic Realism could be explained as a way of understanding the world that combines many different ways of looking at things. It’s like using different tools to build a treehouse. You need a hammer, saw, nails, and screws to build a strong treehouse, just like you need science, art, history, and religion to understand the world around us. By putting all of these different tools together, we can build a stronger understanding of the world.
