What I'm saying is that the very philosophy of aesthetic "objectivity" is a European construct.

To even ask his question OP has to use European tools.

>Duchesne denounces the devaluation of Western culture by a revisionist multicultural ideology which has been sweeping the academic world since the 1960s,[5] arguing for the continued validity of the traditional view of Europe as the one culture that produced the modern world, but adding that Europe has always been the most creative civilization since the Greek discovery of reason, prose writing, tragedy, comedy, dialectical reasoning, theoretical science, citizenship and democratic politics.
>aristocratic culture was the primordial source sustaining the unparalleled cultural creativity and territorial expansionism of Western civilization. The Iliad, Beowulf, The Song of Roland, including such Irish, Icelandic and Germanic Sagas as Lebor na hUidre, Njals Saga, Gisla Saga Sursonnar, and The Nibelungenlied recount the heroic deeds and fame of aristocrats.

So I can learn about European history without being shamed or constantly reminded that it's empty because of "cultural relativism" and "social constructs" and "power structures" ?
