Interpretation of a person requires first the objective meaning of what they prefer

Evidence

When we turn to the second chapter of the section ‘Idea’ in the Science of Logic, ‘The Idea of Cognition’, philosophy is specifically envisaged as ‘cognition’ (Erkennen). The ‘reality of the concept’, at this point in its development, is the form of its determinate being, and the point of interest is the determination of this form; on this determination rests the difference between what the concept is in itself or as subjective, and what it is when submerged in objectivity. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 979 (#expands, via linked claim)
