Abstract: Kants aesthetic “super utility” is the self-discipline of aesthetics.As a special spiritual utility,it is directly reflected in the coordinated operation of spiritual functions.The sociology aspect proposed by Pierre Bourdieu is called anti-Kant.Allen Carlson and Arnold Berleant deny aesthetic autonomy based on humans engagement within the environment,which is apparently flawed.The value of aesthetics in economy and life stems from its autonomy.The merge of aesthetics and life and the application of aesthetic theory in modern history expose the traditional aesthetics flaw.Art aesthetics is also limited due to its lacking in transcendent interpretation.However,art aesthetics does not have a dead end.Aesthetic criticism originates from the mission of art to create new forms constantly.It is realized in the dialectical relationship between itself and the world.Autonomy cannot be understood from the perspective of abstract formalism.It is concrete and contains the whole of aesthetic object.

Key words: autonomy, engagement, art aesthetics, criticalness
