Abstract
Gradamer reconstructs Hermeneutics' theory of art truth by means of explanation, comes up with comprehension truth through criticism of aesthetic consciousness and takes it for the standpoint of art theory. He points out that Kant's aesthetic interest, Schiller's aesthetic kingdom, Hamann's aesthetic perception and Jauss' aesthetic experience take pure aesthetic consciousness for the standpoint of art theory and negate the truth of art in comprehension, which reveal the aesthetics limitations in regard to art truth. Gradamer's criticism is of great significance for China's consciousness and development of contemporary literary theory.
