Features: Whether a discipline can stand at the forefront, driving the progress of other disciplines, depends on the globality, breakthrough, and pioneering nature of its research topics, methods, and achievements. The author proposes that the social and civilizational transformation at the turn of the millennium is highlighting the captivating forefront position of aesthetics, using this as a starting point to explore various aesthetic frontiers, offering readers a fresh perspective. The book argues that at the turn of the millennium, human transcendence and civilizational transformation are bringing aesthetics to a fascinating forefront, advancing the shift from "truth, goodness, and beauty" to "beauty, goodness, and truth," and facilitating the modern transformation of aesthetic theory. The frontiers of aesthetics address the roots of life, the foundation of values, and the basis of civilization; the explorations in aesthetics seek humanity's future destiny and ultimate purpose. Practical Ontology Aesthetics not only historically reveals the origins of beauty but also scientifically clarifies its characteristics, solving the four core puzzles of aesthetics (the essence of beauty, the features of beauty, the mechanism of aesthetic perception, and the form of beauty) and the four mysteries of aesthetic forms (natural beauty, social beauty, technological beauty, and artistic beauty). With this new perspective on practice, we can answer the mysteries of historical evolution, decode the secrets of human enhancement, and map the path to transcendent wisdom, envisioning a new global image.
