The Research on the Spread of Western Aesthetic Education Theory in China

Abstract

The Western aesthetic education theory has developed to its peak with the maturity of the German classical philosophical system. German aestheticians represented by Kant and Schiller advocated emancipation of human nature and stimulated people's free will. Their ideas have also spread to China and had an significant influence on the formation of Chinese modern aesthetic education system. Although there are similarities between Chinese and Western aesthetic education systems, there are also differences. This paper takes Joseph Beuys's social aesthetic education concept as an example to explore the characteristics of artists' aesthetic education concepts and the dissemination characteristics of Western aesthetic education theories in China. Through the research results, it is found that the spread of Western aesthetic education theories in China is related to the influence of Western social concepts on China, and this paper analyzed the current situation of the spread of Western aesthetic education theory in China, and found that for the spread of Western aesthetic education theories in China, people should integrate art education with the teaching of other disciplines, socialize art education, and cultivate an interactive mode of organic combination of professional classroom. The author hopes that through this research, it can provide some contributions to those who study this field in the future.
