This book explores the context of the emergence of aestheticism from the perspectives of philosophy, aesthetics, art history, changes in social life, and cultural exchanges between the East and the West, combs its development pedigree in major European and American countries in the 19th century, and refines its poetic concept of "art for art's sake" into levels such as "art is higher than life," "artistic self-discipline," and "art saves life" and provides in-depth explanations. It points out that aestheticist poetic theory and literary creation have mutual correspondences and misalignments.
