Mou Chung-san proposed creatively the category of "aesthetic power", but it didn't attract enough attention from the academic circles. In fact, it's a key to understand his thoughts. He hoped to use Chinese wisdom to surpass Kant's aesthetics. It's mainly expressed in the article "Discussion" to digest Kant's Critique of Judgment. In it, he improved Kant's theory by accepting his moral priority principle. One of the main points is "aesthetic judgment" is replaced by "aesthetic power". Specifically, there're three reasons: 1. Aesthetics isn't a knowledge judgment, but a taste; 2. Aesthetics judgment can't communicate nature and freedom; 3. There's no inevitable connection between aesthetics and empathy. The focus of "aesthetic power" isn't on "force", but "aesthetic appreciation", it has the connotation of wonderful wisdom, sense and appreciation, as well as subjective, non-directional and uncontroversial characteristics.
