How do you criticize literature? More specifically, how can there be a specific method when literature is art and therefore appeals to the senses and doesn't yield reproducible results like hard sciences?

Any way you like. Convincing others that your method and views are worth taking note of is the hard part.
Mistakes of the subhumans.
They immediately interpret the idea of subjectivity as giving them free reign to support any viewpoint that they want, no matter how incoherent, ignorant and wretched. Sure, the ant too has its own perspective of things, and therefore its own subjective reality, but who gives a shit about the reality of an ant? The greater the man the greater — and hence the more objective — his perspective, and therefore the idea of subjectivity does not undermine the absolute rule of inequality in the universe but is precisely the mechanism by which it comes about.

>but who gives a shit about the reality of an ant?
I do. What now?
>>8616675
Prove it. You probably don't even know the basic physiology of an ant.
>>8616684
I mean, just in theory I do care for it. Or are you saying that it is entirely impossible to care about the ant, as a man?
>>8615188
you just have to decide if you like or dislike increasingly complicated phenomena with the important caveat of the doubt as to whether or not they exist.
>>8616660
Please support the claim that the subjective viewpoint of a greater person is somehow "more objective."
>>8616697
Probably both are the case.
But more importantly, any man who cares for the reality of an ant is rightfully considered mentally deficient by the average human being in our society, nevermind by the above-average human beings. You won't be enforcing the objectivity of your subjective perspectives very easily from an empty cell in a madhouse.

In a world of flux nothing is objective. Your very notion of objectivity is a 'subjective' social construct constructed and enforced by the greatest culture to dominate the earth. The history of knowledge within our culture, is even an example of subjective viewpoints becoming objective consensus through their power (e.g. for explanation, prediction, utility).
Greatness and objectivity are essentially synonymous in that both imply domination. In the former we use it as an adjective for successfully imprinting a goal upon the world, in the latter it is the same but we imprint a rule to describe the world.
