Perspectivism and Grasp

Perspectivism seems to entail that the objects of Perception can inherently be no more than facets of things.  However, plainly transcending that limitation is the act of grasping something, in which it is possible that all the facets of a thing are simultaneously objects of Perception.  Now, a common Experience in which Grasping is fundamental is that which, according to Marx, is the distinctively Human activity--using an implement.  So, a significant limitation of Perspectivism is that it is inadequate to a very basic, and perhaps cardinal, physiological process.
