Abstract:

 The aesthetics of "practical existence", as one of the theories in China' s contemporary study of aesthetics, is characteristic of human existence being placed prominent priority while "average person" and "person' s general nature" being one of the important theoretical basis. Marxist practical concept is obviously generalized and the cognition relation between subject and object in aesthetics is excluded and negated by experience relation. The essence of this theory can be summarized as follows: first, using subjectivity to exclude materiality, which displays, since the end of 1970s, the continuation of individual subjectivity theory and the deep infiltration into the subjects of aesthetics, literature and art; secondly, using abstraction to exclude specificity, which displays, for a period of time, the development and invasion of capital accumulative logic in China' s certain social life, and an inevitable result produced in aesthetics, literature and art; thirdly, using perceptual experience exclude essential cognition, which displays, since 1990s, a deconstructive trend of antinature and antireason in China' s fields of aesthetics, literature and art, with the everstrengthening influence of postmodernism in the Western countries.
