As a Philosopher, he created the field on its own for Aesthetics, made Aesthetics truly independent from Philosophy, Psychology and other courses, having its own system. Kant's analysis was dialectic and profound about Aesthetic and sublime, not only amending the empiricism and the only-reasonisin's conclusion about the beauty,but also distinguishing the Sublime from Park's basis of Physiology demand and becoming Aesthetics category which was independent and equal to the Aesthetic, Kant's paying attention to the concept of sublime and stipulating about sublime's essence, not only resolved a problem for Aesthetics, but also met with the new epoch of Sublime Aesthetic. Kant had solo view about Art, especially his discussion about Art's motive-genius and its character was worth thinking and being drawn lessons from to us.Kant lined in the period when empiricism and emly-reasonvim debated fiercely, his Aesthetics study integrated and transcend the two, contacted tightly Aesthetic with spirit freedom,morality,enrichment in heart of man.So his Philosophy Aesthetics made "nature and man" and their relations as its basic topic, he made "bright sky decked with many stars above his head; ethical law at his heart" as his epitaph; his history topic was "nature grows towards man";his subject" priori "category saw the old period of "mechanical-mechanics" off and opened up a new period of "anthropology-noumenon" ......He was not only a thinking giant ,but also vanguard;he not only set up " transcendental method " ,but also left dialectics ,his reason field brimmed with man's creat spirit and freedom spirit.Really epoch is going forward,thought should be going ahead.After all ,kant'sVphilosophy Aesthetics thought embodied German reason spirit in 19 Century,he attributed his end of Aesthetics to reason and morality and surely made it become the object which let the successors surpass. But we'll never forget this philosophy and Aesthetics man who has contributed his life to andvancing mankind's civilization. Although he has died ,his spirit will exist forever,whice will shine the later like moonlight and stimulate men to experience all of the levels of human life ,thus to find the eternal transcend.
