Contemporary Chinese Aesthetics

by Zhu Liyuan (Volume editor) Gene Blocker (Volume editor)

Theology & Philosophy

Series: Asian Thought and Culture, Volume 17

Summary

This book is a collection of translations of recent work by contemporary Chinese aestheticians. Because of the relative isolation of China until recently, little is known of this rich and ongoing aesthetics tradition in China. Although some of the articles are concerned with the traditional ancient Chinese theories of art and beauty, many are inspired by Western aesthetics, including Marxism, and all are involved in cross-cultural comparisons of Chinese and Western aesthetic traditions.
