Going Towards"Chao-praxis Aesthetics":The Third Path to the Construction of Contemporary Chinese Aesthetics in the Post-theoretical Era
Practice aesthetics emphasizes practical activities centered around material production,while post-practice aesthetics takes a"de-practice"strategy.Practice aesthetics and post-practice aesthet-ics share the same understanding for practice,that is to say,they both have a non-philosophical,socio-logical,and historical scientific understanding of practice.The practical turn of the contemporary philos-ophy and aesthetics in the West has raised the big question how the aesthetic could be regarded as a prac-tice.The aesthetic could be a form of practice,not from the perspective of practice aesthetics and post-practice aesthetics,but rather a pre-reflective phenomenological praxis rooted in the primordial life-world."Chao-praxis"is not de-practice,but returning to a pre-reflective primordial praxis,where the subject and object are not separated."Chao-praxis aesthetics"is established on the basis of a brand new"Chao-praxis"notion,It is a new aesthetic paradigm emerging in the construction of contemporary Chinese aesthetics in the post-theoretical era,and it provides the third path for contemporary Chinese aesthetics research.
