The Two Wings Of The Modernity Criticism: Rationalism Criticism And Aesthetics Salvation

Modernity is the ideology background of a century development of the westward society. There are so many ideologists and ideology genres in the shape and development of modernity. They has been improving the new theories on modernity .At the beginning modernity constantly brings forward issues .The most issue is that modernity itself is the course, in the which people constantly break away from superstition ignorance and autocratic and they constantly pursue logos, science and liberty. However, as we have seen, modernity break away from the autocratic, superstition, and ignorance, in the process of which it creates a new authoritarianism, ignorance and superstition. 100 years development of modernity is in conflict and contradiction.The form of modernity has the two main signs. On the one hand rationalism is hold high and the spirit hover in the sky of history .The other is that aesthetic and emotion ties. It can be said that rationalism and aesthetic is two internal power of modernity. The conflict and digestion of the two powers contribute to the achievements of the development of the modernity.The development of modernity has experienced different stages. The contradictory expressions of different stages are different. Enlightenment and the aesthetic modernity are fraught with internal contradictions and have experienced various stages in which there is different manifestation in their respective development. Aesthetic experience the three basic stages-the aesthetic of Enlightenment, the aesthetic of modern, and the aesthetic of life. Enlightenment successively experiences the market society, commercial society and consumer society. At each stage, modernity, aesthetic modernity, the Enlightenment modernity has a different character.The enlightenment holds highly rationalism and rationalism is its core category. The development of modern enlightenment is the movement and flow of rationalism; the core of aesthetics modernity is the feeling. The feeling of flow and development is the expression of the development of the aesthetics modernity. With the development of modernity, the manner of aesthetics has suffered from the absurdity. Aesthetics sinks into the pleasures of appreciating body and it has lost the connotation of salvation. Aesthetics faces with the paradox and calls for a new theory. So Hagerman has responded.In short, the internal division of the Enlightenment and the aesthetics helps us to observe more detailed modernity structural a contradiction which makes us burst into the theoretical framework for understanding and transforming. Therefore, the core of this problem is how to obtain a constructive criticism of the modern structure, making the Enlightenment and aesthetic regain a kind of "integration", making rational criticism and aesthetic salvation return significant development.
