Features: German classical aesthetics, as a dialectical and humanistic ontology-based philosophical aesthetics, ultimately completed and perfected. It is a synthesis of various aesthetic trends since ancient Greece, particularly integrating the rationalist and empiricist schools of aesthetic thought from the Enlightenment, and developed and refined the categories, concepts, and theoretical systems of aesthetics. It reflects the historical evolution of aesthetics from "natural ontology" through "epistemology" to "humanistic ontology" (social ontology).
