Being the kind of literature works conveying 'beauty of tragedy' , tragedy always throws a light on human's nature and their life style. Humans'every successful step into civilization cannot depart from overcoming obstacles, cannot depart from the emotional transition between horror and struggle when they are trapped in the doomed tragic fate. Tragedy beauty is 'beauty in struggling', it is associated with human's rational moral order senses.The reasons are as follows:First, literature shows sympathy on human beings when it pays much care on different relations connected with order---the relation between man and nature, the relation between man and the others, the relation between man and himself/herself. Second, tragedy beauty derives from the combating and surpassing the various order relations encircling human beings. Third, the human's civilization is the development that the new order surpassing the old one. Forth, with the vast development of social order from the ancient Greece to today, the writing style of the western tragedy has an amazing change in spite of the fact that the previous writing purpose keeps the same---to realize 'beauty'\'kindness' based on 'truth'.The thesis is named "The rational moral order of aesthetic view and tragedy beauty", proves that there is a kind of rational moral order senses hidden in the creating of western tragedy. It goes to give a thorough description of the Western Tragedy trend on how its going on,As the development of tragedy is actually related to people's rational moral order, 'order' is here divided into three parts——individual emotional order, social order, nature order. Among them, nature order is the primitive base of the rational moral order senses since nature is the living environment for human; social order takes up the majority of the rational moral order senses for it connects people and society; the individual emotional order stays as the changeable order which conflicts the society, thus is considered a destructive factor in the rational moral order senses.The thesis is divided into four chapters except for the introduction part and the conclusion part: The first chapter links western rationalism and the sense of order, which shows the connection of the traditional sense of ration in the western world and the sense of order. The second chapter gives us the origins of rational moral order (the logic format of the sense of order). It gives us the view of how the three orders(individual emotional order, social order, nature order)joint, which throws the light on the individual factors of a person to set up his/her individual order. The third chapter analyzes the individual emotional order in works, which indicates the close relations between the main characters 'tragic fate and the sense of order. The fourth chapter is named 'the appreciation of tragedy beauty', it explains the tragedy beauty from readers and writers' moral order senses.All in all, the thesis holds the opinion that in the researching of western aesthetic, the rational moral order senses cannot be ignored, because it instructs the tragedy writers' writing, including writing theme, character's molding, writing strategies, which then makes a further impact on the sending out of tragedy beauty.The article tends to give a summary on the Western tragedy's development, holds the view that the history of human being's senses of rational order is just the history of human being's civilization, and furthermore, it is the evolving result of the rational spirit that derives from the ancient Greece. With the consciousness of the human beings' true nature, people are setting up their moral order senses. Without any doubt the process is filled up with hardships, for the various order relationships encircling around man are not single and easy from the very beginning, they came out of three aspects...people & nature, people & society, people & himself.In order to illustrate more clearly, the western tragic works in this thesis are classified into four periods:the ancient Greek works, the Middle Ages works, the Renaissance works,20th century works. And moreover, the works are analyzed based on the classification of the order factors. By doing so, I also would like to indicate the individual emotional order influences human beings a lot.The thesis takes the social science and the psychological literature way to analyze the related western tragedy works, it follows the main line of the human beings civilization, sets the foot on the main specific western tragedy works, takes a thorough look on both the social order and the individual order during these times, explains the tragedy beauty in them. Besides, the article illustrates why and how the western ancient tragedy transforms today.The breakthroughs in the thesis lies in here:First, the article brings about the order format; it is the first time to make the tragic rebellious spirit in western tragedy beauty associated with the sense of order. Second, the article makes a thorough definition of the sense of order, order does not only cover the outside society, but also the inside world of human beings. Third, the article raises up the definition of natural human nature and natural things, which leads to the introduction of the truth order in the writers' minds. Forth, the article tries to analyze the tragedy beauty not only from the tragedy works, but also from both the readers and the writers' order senses. Fifth, the article illustrates the developing of "sympathy" and "purification". Sixth, the article classifies the "surpassing" in western tragedy works into two parts---surpassing the ideal part of emotional order and surpassing the passive part of emotional order (weakness in mind). And, it tries to give the reasons of the transformation of the ancient western tragedy.
