The dangers of "perspectivalism"
 

Since Mol is concerned with philosophical takes that are only concerned with the "world of meaning," and "different interpretations," she cautions that in this circumstance, "[t]he power to mark physical reality [...] is granted to nobody" (11)
 
"the disease--forever unknown--is nowhere to be found. The disease recedes behind the interpretations" (12)
 
she is trying to "find a way out of perspectivalism and into disease 'itself'" (12) via studying "practicalities, materialities, events"
