Theories involve explanations. To formulate a theory, say, on aesthetics or poetics, is to try and explain what aesthetic and poetic processes are, as though their essences could be explicated and simply "understood". It should be clear that one cannot simply arrive at a final and literal explanation or theory regarding what the aesthetic or poetic process is, or what anything is.
The full beauty and meaning of things and events derives from the fact that they are fundamentally mysterious and indeterminate. One cannot absolutely pin anything down with words, categories and concepts. To think that one can is an immensely common human confusion that leads to much unnecessary negativity.
