In fact, it is difficult to distinguish between aesthetics and art. There are many books named after aesthetics, most of which are entry-level. Hegel's may be more classic and more difficult. You can also look at the publications published by Beijing Broadcasting Institute and Kunlun Publishing House, or even Qian Zhongshu's Talking about Art.. Specifically, Zhu Guangqian's On Beauty and the History of Western Aesthetics; Li Zehou's three books of Aesthetics, Zong Baihua's History of Chinese Aesthetics, The Course of Beauty and Aesthetic Walking; Wang Chaowen's introduction to aesthetics; Zhang Fa's Introduction to Aesthetics; Kant's Critique of Judgment; Hegel's aesthetics; Bamboo on Ye Lang's chest; Hegel's aesthetics has three volumes and four volumes; Bao Sangkui's aesthetic history; Schiller's letters about aesthetic education; Parker's aesthetic principles. Personally, I deny the existence of philosophy. It is not worth studying as a specialized subject. The following are some books on philosophy: introductory books: Sophie's world, Durant's The Story of Philosophy, Robert Solomon's The Big Problem-An Introduction to Philosophy, etc. The better ones in China are: The Philosopher's Story by Hunan People's Publishing House, and The Must-read Story of Western Philosophy by Yuan of Jilin Publishing Group. Advanced: Start reading books on the history of philosophy systematically. Western philosophy recommends reading Zhang Zhiwei's Fifteen Lectures on Western Philosophy and Zhang Rulun's Fifteen Lectures on Modern Western Philosophy, and then reading Phoenix Publishing House and Jiangsu People's Publishing House's Academic Edition on the History of Western Philosophy. China's philosophy started with Feng Youlan's two-volume History of China Philosophy, followed by Sun Yat-sen University and Wuhan University's New Edition of China Philosophy History, and Fudan University's History of China Ancient Philosophy. When we look at the history of philosophy, we can look at the selected works of western philosophy and China's philosophy together.
