Granted, but there is also subjectivity. A work of art or literature is interpretive. We interact with and ascribe meaning to the work.

Sure but that has nothing to do with knowledge. We can have subjective perceptions & objective truths & not conflate them.

Also, depends how one defines knowledge. Ascribing meaning is knowing albeit not objective.

If you use knowledge to mean 'subjective interpretation' of course it will include subjective interpretation. It's not what's at issue here

No-one is attacking subjective interpretations or saying they shld be banned! Saying they shouldn't be claimed to be true!

Objectively true? That's a straw man. Who is making such claims?

Oh for goodness sake. I can't explain this in tweets if you really don't understand. Got company. I'll get back to you,

You said subjective views "shouldn't be claimed to be true." I say that's a straw man. If you show me who said that, I'll also dispute.

You are spectacularly missing the point. They assert things like 'sexual jealousy arose as a result of a crisis of masculinity in 17th C'

This is a truth claim. And it's false. See essay I sent you.
