Philosophical Aesthetic Traditions of Western and Chinese Culture
Keywords:
philosophy, aesthetic, traditions, characteristicsAbstract
Research on reinventing contemporary Chinese aesthetics is a problem that cannot be ignored in the Chinese contemporary art field, which is under the development of globalisation and modernisation. The rapid growth of human material civilisation requires the exploration of more profound connotations of aesthetics. This research aimed to analyse the essence of the aesthetic differences and commonalities between the West and China to find a better way to construct Chinese contemporary aesthetics, thereby finding the development direction of Chinese contemporary arts. This study will benefit academicians, designers, new identities, and those involved in the contemporary art field.
