A concept cannot simultaneously function as a normative ideal distinguishing art from routine and as a descriptive feature present in all consummatory experience without equivocation.

Descriptive feature(as used in art criticism and aesthetics): A factual characteristic of something you can observe or point to—like the shape, color, or arrangement of elements in a painting.
Normative ideal(as what the Enlightenment values represent): A standard or goal for how people *should* behave or organize society, rather than just describing how things actually are.
Without equivocation(saying that no single formula can describe both theories without confusion or contradiction): Without ambiguity or double meaning—clearly and in one way only, without being able to interpret it differently.
consummatory experience(as used in aesthetics and philosophy of value): An experience that is valuable or worthwhile *for its own sake*, not because it leads to something else. Like enjoying a beautiful sunset just for the joy of it, rather than for a practical purpose.
