"The problem with Hegels aesthetics is the assumption that the truth of a work of art emerges completely via its conceptual articulation. The assumption is that the truth is already there when I interpret a literary text for example. All I have to do is reveal the mediations that are present in the text. This means that my role as interpreter is just to read what is supposedly latent in the text, not to reveal things about the text via my individual creative initiative."
