Features: The author adopts a free and open discussion approach, first introducing the problem, then gradually delving into relevant historical theories, and finally presenting their own views to guide readers into the discussion. This makes those abstract and specialized aesthetic issues more relatable and easy to understand. Many of the topics covered in this book belong to the forefront of aesthetic studies, where the author elaborates on their novel and unique perspectives. Some of these ideas have sparked strong interest and widespread discussion in contemporary aesthetics, such as "beauty in (state/level)," "aesthetic reduction," "natural perfection," and "aesthetics as a survival strategy in the mass era," among others. The author has used the preliminary draft of this book as a teaching manual for lectures and presentations at universities both domestically and internationally, receiving warm acclaim from students.
