Features: The study of Chinese aesthetic spirit is an ancient topic, with numerous papers and books written on it. However, most of them are entangled in metaphysical abstract concepts, or they discuss some common aesthetic knowledge within the realm of the concrete. Few of them can truly capture the readers' interest. This book takes a new perspective, reducing the world to a "tangible image era" and capturing the main thread of desire in the relationships between people and things. It focuses on analyzing and interpreting the diverse life phenomena that emerge when desire is fully unleashed, and terms this analytical approach "metaphysical sociology." From an aesthetic perspective, the book examines politics, economics, morality, and art, as these four fields particularly vividly manifest human desire. At the same time, these four fields almost encompass the entirety of human social life—they are neither purely metaphysical nor simply part of everyday life. This book is a new contribution to the field of aesthetic research, offering a compelling and thought-provoking read.
