Hi,
I'm just asking this for my understanding. Don't think it other way.

Aren't in different ways and from different points of view mean the same? If I'm correct, then isn't this a redundancy?

Sometimes. But not exactly. 'Differnt point of view' suggests a more radically different way of thinking, a larger shift inside the mind of the thinker.
