Hermeneutical aesthetics, represented by Gadamer, contains rich implications of living aesthetics.In the ontology of language of hermeneutical aesthetics, language and living world are ontologically identical and manifest as the life process itself, which contains the connotation of the living theory and the possible direction of aesthetics of living ontology.Through an exploration of metaphysics of Beauty based on the ontology of language, hermeneutical aesthetics also affirms that Beauty is in the Form of life and advocates the principle of the unity of Beauty and Good.In addition, hermeneutical aesthetics reveal the continuity and tension between art and life through discussion of the concepts of “aesthetic without distinction”, “occasionality” and “decoration”, which have an important enlightening effect on the construction of living aesthetics.
