摘要：After the alleged ‘ends’ of metaphysics,of history,and of art,aesthetics reorganises the field of its enquiry. While retaining the question of the meaning of art for the human as the background justification of its theorising,aesthetics meets philosophical anthropology and enlarges its field. Philosophical anthropology explains that the instability of the human condition demands culture as the artificial stabilisation of the human world as well as of the human in the world. Expressivity,artificiality,and the aesthetic are interweaved with the meaning of the human world. In this context,pictures have priority over concepts and justify art as the eminent pictorial form of meaning. Since the human lives in nature and culture,the stabilisation of its open world is possible through creation of spatial correlates and of objects as well. Thus,aesthetics does need to expand enquiry beyond the discourse on art,so that it includes the issues concerning the aesthetic character of the human world and its spatial correlates. While Wolfgang Welsch and Richard Shusterman argue for a revision of aesthetics,Joseph Margolis and Helmuth Plessner support the stronger dialogue between philosophical anthropology and aesthetics in different ways. Further,Arnold Berleant explores aesthetics of human space..
