`  == Contradictory section ==  This section needs to be clarified. The first italicised sentence and second italicised sentence are in contradiction. Does he believe in subjectivity or doesn't he?   Emile Hennequin was a Parisian publisher and writer, who wrote on theoretical and critical pieces. He ``exemplified the tension between the positivist drive to systemize literary criticism and the unfettered imagination inherent in literature``. He is one of the few thinkers that disagrees with the notion that subjectivity invalidates observation, judgments and predictions. Unlike many positivist thinkers before him he cannot agree that subjectivity does not play a role in science or any other form in society. His contribution to positivism is not one of science and its objectivity but rather the subjectivity of art and the way the artist, work, and audience view each other. Hennequin tried to analyze positivism strictly on the predictions, and the mechanical processes, but was perplexed due to the contradictions of the reactions of patrons to artwork that showed no scientific inclinations.`
