The freedom to apprehend aesthetic value may rise from class conflict, but the value is not identical with the freedom, even if it cannot be achieved without that apprehension. Aesthetic value is by definition engendered by an interaction between artists, an influencing that is always an interpretation.
The text suggests that while the appreciation of aesthetic value may originate from class struggles, the value itself is distinct from the freedom to perceive it. Although understanding aesthetic value is essential for its realization, it cannot be conflated with the conditions that enable such perception.
Harold Bloom emphasizes that aesthetic value emerges from the interplay among artists, where each influence acts as an interpretation of art. This dynamic interaction highlights the importance of context and relationships in shaping how aesthetic experiences are formed and appreciated.
