The Sacred and the Secular: the Value Intention of Aestheticism
by Liu Qiong
About This Novel
This book refers to the Christian clues that run through the history of Western culture to examine the sacred and secular value intentions of "beauty" in aestheticism, as well as the corresponding practical consequences and cultural historical significance. The writing of prohibited pornography at the content level of aestheticism resists the external style of capitalist morality and reveals the "sacred" spiritual connotation of irrational forms that have been suppressed for a long time; its admiration for pure forms, on the one hand, subjectively "sacred" art in the form of "art for art's sake" and gives it sacred value. On the other hand, "art for art's sake" is fundamentally an integral part and link of the process of Western cultural modernity, and its eventual integration by the market just illustrates the secular rational character of form. This book analyzes the sacred and secular value intentions of aestheticism, trying to reveal the overall survival style of human beings and show the current value of aestheticism.
