Features: Tragedy is a very important aesthetic category, and also a complex and highly research-worthy category in aesthetics. Based on the practice aesthetics founded on the freedom of practice-creation, this book examines and interprets the aesthetics of tragedy from the perspective of the unity of aesthetic anthropology and life aesthetics, with tragic art as its central focus. The author closely connects with the theories and works of tragedy from ancient and modern China and the world, powerfully demonstrating the significant role of practice aesthetics in understanding and resolving issues in tragic aesthetics. Additionally, the book offers in-depth and historically broad interpretations of key issues in tragic aesthetics, such as the conflict in tragedy, the resolution of tragedy, the relationship between tragedy and the sublime, and the direction of tragedy.
