On The Aesthetics Of Love

"Love" is the question that religion, psychology, sociology drastically pay attention to, also the theme that poets and artists eulogize. But what is love? Different scholars have the different apprehending due to their different investigating preconditions and study backgrounds. Therefore, the thesis begins with the connotation of love firstly.The connotation of love reflects that love is a very complex problem and phenomena, however, love is love, we can still find the joint theoretical foundation, which includes the base of nature and humanity, and nevertheless no matter the base of nature or that of humanity, love is based on the "integrative quality" of human and objects, and beauty is derived from it, so love and beauty have the same basis; the relation between love and beauty in Greece myth has the same annotation, that is Eros and Beauty god integrate; the asthenias including Plato, Edmund Burke dissertate the relationship between "Love" and "Love and Beauty" from the angle of esthetics, that proves that love is the esthetic problem.Since love is the esthetic problem, we can certainly analyze the communication of "Love and Beauty", the esthetic character of love according to the background of esthetic subject, and compare the love of esthetics, ethic and religion. Then an esthetic nonplus from Plato is disentwined, we find that the place that was thought to be fenced out by a great gulf fixed-- between beauty and things of beauty, body and spirit of beauty, reality and ideality of beauty, and limited beauty and boundless beauty, there is an miraculous tie linking each of them, which is love.However, in modern society where the technology is thought of most importance, people lose the existence of spirit, the relationship between them increasingly turns to be naked one of substance. In pursuit of efficiency, they forget love and emotion, love is in crisis, and the crisis of love is also the crisis of human, thus the essential problem of esthetics is problem of people, crisis of love is also crisis of esthetics.Thesis thinks about love, studies love anew, makes love the exerted position in esthetics, it is no other than which that esthetics can find the problem only belongs to itself, and we can understand the aesthetics.
