A New Research On A Study Of Lukacs' Late Aesthetic Anthropology Thought

It is a new direction to study Lukacs from the perspective of aesthetic anthropology,an interdisciplinary subject based on solving aesthetics and anthropology.As a faithful successor of Marxist theoretical research,Lukacs inherited and discarded some anthropological viewpoints from Marx's Anthropological Notes and applied them to his later work Aesthetic Characteristics.Lukacs' Aesthetic Characteristics contains rich anthropological thoughts.Starting from daily life,this paper interprets the aesthetic problems of art from the viewpoint that "monkey anatomy is a key to human anatomy".Lukacs used anthropological research methods to demonstrate the origin theory,self-discipline theory and function theory of artistic aesthetics in detail.He believed that art originated from the joint action of labor and witchcraft.Even though it was concealed under the cloak of witchcraft in the early stage,the self-discipline of art had already begun to emerge.The phenomenon of commodity fetishism in modern capitalist society is pervasive in daily life.Lukacs believes that art has the function of Anti-alienation on the basis of the general category.Finally,the article discusses the value of Lukacs' aesthetic anthropology,considers the development prospects of art in the light of the complex situation of the current society,and points out that the ultimate aim of art is to change people from "complete man" to "whole man",and then pursue real freedom.
