Features: "A New Edition of Aesthetics" forms a relatively complete theoretical system. The book, excluding the introduction, is divided into four parts: Beauty, Aesthetic Feeling, Appreciation and Creation of Beauty, and Aesthetic Education. These four parts are interconnected, existing in a dialectical relationship of mutual causation, while each part has its own focus: Beauty emphasizes philosophical speculation, which is the ontology of beauty and the foundational part of aesthetics; Aesthetic Feeling focuses on psychological exploration, which is the subject theory of beauty and the core part of aesthetics; Appreciation and Creation of Beauty emphasizes social investigation, which is the practical theory of beauty and also the starting point and destination of aesthetics. In the arrangement of the format for each part, there is also a systematic innovation.
