This book is a monograph by the author that comprehensively and systematically discusses his aesthetic thought. Starting from the concept of "the naturalization of man," the author advocates the theory of "anthropological historical ontology," establishing a macro-theoretical system with a rigorous structure and grand vision. It not only responds to the current popular aesthetic schools both at home and abroad but also explores issues from a philosophical perspective, unifying society and nature through the practice and accumulation of the subject. It delves into the ontological existence of beauty and humans, the "mathematical equation" of aesthetic feeling and psychological emotions, artistic products and artistic works, "postmodernism," and more, proposing a future where aesthetics is connected to the fate of humanity. The book is divided into four parts, addressing four questions: What is aesthetics? What is beauty? What is aesthetic feeling? What is art? With concise, powerful, and highly condensed prose, the author cites extensively and engages readers in a smooth, conversational manner, guiding them through careful reading and deep reflection to enter the magnificent palace of aesthetics.
