Definition
看法 (kànfǎ) is a general opinion or view about a person, issue, or thing — the everyday word for 'what you think' about something. 想法 (xiǎngfǎ) leans more toward an 'idea' or 'thought' (often a plan or notion), while 观点 (guāndiǎn) is a more formal 'standpoint' used in arguments or discussions. 见解 (jiànjiě) is a deeper, more intellectual insight.
