Contributions of Kantian Aesthetics to the World and Its Significances to China

Abstract

Abstract: For quite a long time, Chinese aesthetics circle approaches Kant's aesthetics with a strong ideological political stance, which has led to gross misunderstanding and distortion of Kant's aesthetics and resultant failure in evaluating Kant's contributions to the world and the significances to China. The most significant contribution of Kant's aesthetics is that it starts with the modern aesthetic dilemma of empiricism and rationalism aesthetics and departs from there to break through the subjecthood-centred thinking in the aesthetic history. Kant's aesthetics reaches the solution to the focal aesthetic problem of "how pleasant feeling can share the nature of the ration," which has great significance to contemporary Chinese aesthetics long confined to the subject-object dichotomy.

Key words: Kant's aesthetics, contribution to the world, significance to China
