Features: This book focuses on the methodological characteristics of phenomenological aesthetics and systematically studies the aesthetic thoughts of Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Ingarden, and Dufrenne, as well as their different perspectives on art and aesthetic issues. The writing is fluent, the reasoning is meticulous, and it offers fresh insights, making it an academically valuable work. This book is currently the first monograph in China that conducts a comprehensive and systematic study of phenomenological aesthetics. The entire book centers on the methodological contributions of phenomenological aesthetics and weaves this focus throughout. On one hand, the author pays attention to the intellectual lineage among various phenomenological aestheticians, and on the other hand, he places great emphasis on revealing their divergences and differences through comparison, and conducts an in-depth analysis of the causes of these differences. Based on this, he proposes clear judgments and independent claims on each school of thought, thereby giving the book a macro-theoretical perspective and a strong sense of history.
