Experiment of the World-Picture Logic Philosophy: Towards a Relational Theology

Abstract

This paper focuses on the discussion of the concepts of “mixed modern,” “humanist criticism” and “world relational aesthetics” proposed by the author, which are academic outputs of research and critical engagements in the field of contemporary art and culture. It points out that the concept of “mixed modern” constitutes a kind of cultural logic to understand the reality in China; the theory of humanist criticism belongs to a paradigm for criticism in contemporary art, where the individual person is in the focus; the idea of “world relational aesthetics” emphasizes the internal logic and coherence of the theory itself in the process of interpretation. From a broader perspective, as part of the author’s philosophy of art, they are only the “artistic” and “experimental” results of the world-picture logic philosophy, which is finally based on a revealed theology of relation.
