Chinese Philosophy and Contemporary Aesthetics (eBook, PDF)

Unthought of Empty

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The purpose of Chinese Philosophy and Contemporary Aesthetics is simple and straightforward: to discuss empty, nothing, opening, white, nature color, blankness, and different delicate senses, in ink-water painting and calligraphy, around discourses of poetics, philosophy ideas, and art critics.

Because xu has inner plasticity and re-generation, which are crucial for its aesthetic discourse, the relation between "nature" or "naturalness" and "emptiness" approaches a fundamental question of modernity-the relation between event revolution and "silent transformation."
