“Political correctness” or “wokeness” represent a form of moralism that is primarily found in the academic milieu. Here it is demanded that one should only dress, speak out, act and interfere in the context of one's own experiences. Men are not allowed to speak for women, women not for men, both, if they are white, not for people of colour. This makes experience recognisable as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, experiences close their horizons by referring to authenticity. On the other hand, they extend their range by opening up fracture lines where new things can enter. To what extent aesthetic education has to do with disturbances in the comfort of perception and reflection will be illustrated using selected works of art.
