Walter Pater's promotion of"art for art's sake"focuses on art appreciation rather than art creation.He therefore keeps emphasis on the catalysis and refinement of human life through art,and endeavors to actualize the artistic life as the ultimate te-los.On this account,he knocks down the abstract and overgeneralized formula of art criticism,and instead,strongly advocates the specific principle of aesthetic criticism.According to this principle,he adequately demonstrates his individual expertise by approaching and analyzing the arts of the Renaissance and Hellenism.In addition,he attempts to draw some theoretical sources from Plato's aesthetic ponderings for the catchphrase of"art for art's sake".This requires a further consideration and reflection as regards how justifiable is his intention in this aspect.
