"After Auschwitz" as for a special theoretical proposition,which become an unavoidable problem of the post-war European-western thoughts,and investigate the possibility of thinking in the future from philosophy,culture,religion,politics,ethics and other effects of the different from a different perspective.As for aesthetics,on the one hand,the cruelty of war,ugly genocide and absurd humanity,have formed strong doubts and subversion of human aesthetic ideal and artistic experience;on the other hand,the development of contemporary aesthetics must face this important trauma,and on the basis of realistic concern and problem consciousness,it is necessary for us to respond to the political and ethical turn of Contemporary Aesthetics.Therefore,we put the "beauty" and "good" old debate on "Auschwitz" historical context in the field of Aesthetic Modernity Criticism,and explore the contemporary aesthetics how to re-stimulate the "poetic justice"after the disaster of Auschwitz.Specifically,we will open three fold in the aesthetic modernity domain(historical basis,practical practice and future approaches):Firstly,Carding and deconstruction of traditional metaphysics,showing the historical narrative of absentation of the "other " under the violence of thought of identity and the totality of Logos;Secondly,from the perspective of aestheticied politics,reflecting the way of "German-Greece " in the modern German history,the implementation of strategy of modern transformation,not only writing a abnormal romantic and beautiful retro picture,but also brought the violence of "imitation"of political practice;Finally,the reflection of post-war European thought about totalitarianism,in the postmodern cultural context of deconstructing sublime and doubting Utopia to the extreme,and facing the crisis of nihilism,we need to activate the reconstruction of the meaning of non violence from the thinking of"Literary writing—the ethic of writing—ethical community".Therefore-In the first section,we believe that the anti-Jewish pogroms is denied "The other ",The culture reason behind this lies in the need to rethink Western Metaphysics and the violence of "identity" of Unitarian logos,and reveal the traditional metaphysics of "good " is just the transcendental illusion.And thus reveal whether rational myth of modernity,or impulse of emotional life,once it is absolute,will share the modality of identity of logos,and it will inevitably bring about the discourse power of authoritarian consequences.This is the"Historical basis " on the level of Aesthetic Modernity Criticism;In the section second,we believe that the modern history of the German for the purposes of modern transformation,we must get through with the ancient Greece as the beginning of European Civilization,in order to gain legitimacy and cultural regeneration.The means of "imitation " of "German—Greek”lurking the deep violence of aestheticied politics,with the ancient cultural heritage and heroic determination to save and reform of Dasein,but at the end of the war tragedy,also revealing the tension between aesthetics and the "Meta-political "(justice,ethics).This is the "Practical practice " on the level of Aesthetic Modernity Criticism;In the section third,we believe that in the present is regarded as the deconstruction of all values in the postmodern context,atomized society shrouded in nihilism,must rethink the limits of deconstruction.Reaffirming the significance and advocating friendship,and in the reflection of the negative effects of aesthetic modernity to the reconstruction of the new community.So,this is also the focus of study of contemporary aesthetics to change past from"art research " to "ultimate concern ",activating the dimension of value of aesthetics activities,and carring out the reconstruction of "ethics".This is the "future approach”on the level of development of Aesthetic Modernity Criticism.Finally,when we finished there three aspects of thinking:the "Identity "course of traditional metaphysics,the violence of "Imitation " of aestheticied politics and the poetic justice of postmodern cultural context,our Aesthetic Modernity Criticism is given a individual witness and rethink of aesthetics of the "survivor" in the history.Adorno said,Poetry after Auschwitz is cruel,we believe that if the interpretation of "poetry " is an aesthetic activities as a symbol of human liberation,so contemporary aesthetics need to think how the re-affirmance?re-witness and re-coming of human justice under the ruins of war and desert of the humanity.And this is our dream of constructing a beautiful human existence.
