Abstract

Beauty constitutes the result of aesthetic conception. There is objective beautiful content but a subjective notion for beauty. Based on subjectivity (the subject is the measure of beauty), making rationality the absolute object can also absolutely rationalize the object. Beauty cannot separate itself from an individual, for it is the feeling of the individual (presented perceptually). If “beauty” is regarded as a reasonable interpretation, then aesthetic conception can be obtained through learning. However, aesthetic conception is more of an unconscious self-action. Starting from beauty in a pure form, this article deeply explores that the aesthetic conception is the infinity of subject to the infinity of object, and reveals the philosophical interest of “pursuing infinity with infinity” of Oriental aesthetic conception.
