Aesthetics is a systematic academic study on the emotional experience of the subject, of which the field and knowledge ethics system is an important modernity event. Both Vico's poetic thinking theory and Baumgarten's definition of aesthetic study highlights the main perceptual ability of the aesthetic existence value of legitimacy. At the same time, the subject's poetic aesthetic ability of space is a priori and important part of the subject's perceptual ability. Therefore, aesthetics, sensibility and space are merged into each other, and create new space aesthetic discourse. In the pre-modern period, the naive cognition of space aesthetics constituted the theory of spatial aesthetics. The “perceptual revolution” of modern aesthetics highlights the poetic ethics between the main body and the space, such as “space habitation” of Heidegger and “visual perception space” of Merleau-Ponty, further developed the theory of space aesthetics. The space aesthetic practice and discourse rheology of modern literature formed the field discipline of spatial aesthetics again, and finally constructed a modern aesthetic form centering on the survival of subjects and cultural criticism. Therefore, spatial aesthetics will continue to provide beneficial value of knowledge resources for the development of future aesthetics.
