Human development into the early 21st century, Rapidly changing society in reality the advanced science and technology and the diversity of culture had maken the people who live in it are disoriented. The face of complex multi-noise in the phenomenal world, the humanities scholars from various angles to a sense of social change and human life try to explain the circumstances of each. Philosophy, anthropology, aesthetics, and literature have a long history and rich heritage of traditional humanities disciplines in the use of reflections on the eternal topic and then to deal with reality through the cultural heritage,at the same time, began to appear in the various disciplines within the new division, especially around the theme of human that the main issues arising such as Philosophical Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Art Anthropology, Literary Anthropology, and Aesthetic Anthropology and other emerging disciplines. Anthropological research resources and research methods give the various disciplines revelations, the beginning of the study subjects based on actual practice and contemporary cultural phenomena, study and research in the way of subtle changes began to occur, forming a disciplinary interaction and the development of interdisciplinary research trend.With the face of multiple themes in the context of social production, ideological and aesthetic trends and art activities, rethinking the significance of cross-disciplinary, integrated with the phenomenon of speculative character, "Practical Anthropology" on the ideological content of aesthetic theory and practice of the present will be a inspiration. "Practical Anthropology" published as the last book of Kant's is actually the whole philosophy of Kant and its principles in daily life and practical dimensions of human embodiment. Kant's transcendental philosophy in a continuation of his character, trying to critique the previous system of philosophy as "anthropology", that "human studies", "Human Studies" broader perspective to examine, with the ability of people in the know on the experience of transcendental idealism and realism unifying, Kant's principle of natural and moral world increasingly focused on the "human" to build the relationship on the subject. As a result, "Transcendental Anthropology" has never been formally proposed by him, but in fact everywhere to follow the fundamental position in the increasingly clear. Kant's practical anthropology is the physiological aspects of human knowledge beyond the exclusion of practical anthropology, and dete rmine the "free movement of people as creatures made by its own thing, or can and should make things". It is investigated as a "world citizen" of the people. Practical Anthropology is no longer a connection between the transcendental reality of anthropology and a mediator, but rather in the people's "human subject "as the carrier continues to extend the critical study. So Kant's transcendental anthropology constructed within its field of vision (physical, natural geography) anthropology, the anthropology can be useful as a third anthropology, this is the philosophical anthropology, or stay in Canada within the meaning of the Cultural Anthropology or Social Anthropology Modern in anthropology.In Kant's "Practical Anthropology", "the law professor of anthropology" at the first part mainly discusses the understanding of the way the human heart, respectively, from cognitive ability, pleasant or unpleasant feelings, and desires the ability to discuss, obviously correspond to the three aspects cognitive, emotional and moral transcendental philosophy of Kant to the three main body of the structure. Anthropological analysis of the characteristics as the second part discusses the way from the appearance from the outside to understand the way the human heart. Thus, Kant through the "Nature's Wisdom", profoundly reveals the human nature, and the system answers "what is human" this general problem, completed the "free people are rational beings "to reveal" rational beings, characterized by freedom of all people "the anthropology of the conclusions; also shows that this understanding only allows us to "continue to approach it ",can not satisfactorily achieved. In this sense, man can only be decided on the "creator", which is a practical anthropological conclusions. Therefore, on the one hand, while recognizing the inheritance utility of anthropology at the beginning of Kant's critical philosophy with humanistic care for the character as a result of the phenomenon and the distinction to things in themselves are not sure of the final result of the philosophical features; on the one hand, other knowledge to practical Anthropology classes involving practical life and the analysis of the principal as an intermediary with the end effect arising from the new discovery. As a result, anthropology is not just focused on the experience of the use of transcendental philosophy, but the critical philosophy of the home.With the face of the context of diverse contemporary art and aesthetic activities, aesthetic and anthropological research should be based on cultural phenomena and contemporary art practice, to actively learn from the human literature and field research in the rich aesthetic and cultural resources. Therefore, the overall goal of anthropology to face:the phenomenon of the human spirit to the study and substance of human existence, to study the physiological basis of unity. Contemporary anthropological research on the one hand continue to be based on the transformation of modern civilization have not been the original culture of research; the other hand, want to actively turn against modern society and modern civilization. New Art Anthropology, Urban Anthropology, Environmental Anthropology, Anthropology of Literature, Aesthetics and Anthropology all branches of anthropology and modern social life and thoughts, and feelings associated with the modern, anthropological and aesthetic of contemporary research has important Inspiration. Aesthetic Anthropology on the one hand forward to inherit the traditional anthropological research, also requires the integrated use of anthropology and aesthetics in the research methods to promote the aesthetic and cultural phenomenon of contemporary studies to address the real life and in art theory and practice. Therefore, Kant's Practical Anthropology of contemporary aesthetic thought and literary arts and cultural development and research has important theoretical and practical significance.
