Features: This book challenges traditional aesthetics' views on aesthetics and art, striving to study aesthetic issues from the perspective of humans, their biology, and physiology. It examines the relationship between aesthetics and art and human physiological needs, breaking down the traditional separation between the spiritual and the physical, body and spirit. It aims to critique the "high art" that starts with an uppercase "A," thereby forming the perspective of "postmodernism" on art.
