Definition
视角 (shìjiǎo) is the most concrete of these near-synonyms — it literally means 'visual angle' (how you physically see something) and extends figuratively to 'perspective'. 角度 (jiǎodù) is broader: it covers geometric angles and abstract 'points of view'. 观点 (guāndiǎn) and 立场 (lìchǎng) are purely abstract: 观点 is 'opinion/viewpoint', while 立场 is 'stance/position' (often political or principled).
