Abstract

There are two aspects in the inner construction of Bloch's "hope aesthetics". One is a wish at the level of inner instinct, and the other an anticipation at the level of utopia. The hope, viewed from temporality, is a utopia that is open to the future. Futurity, on the level of inner instinct, is a basic starting point to discover the inherent and inevitable tendency of utopia from an angle of human nature. Art is a bridge between present and future, and a specific function of anticipation. The realization of anticipation needs an enterprising and optimistic position. In the process of its fullness, attention tends to constantly change its forging orientation.
