Abstract
The concept of "organic entity" is the foundation of Zhu Guangqian's early intellectual thoughts since 1927. This concept was repeatedly used from 1927 to 1944 in Zhu's work to observe, describe and interpret life and art, and it was also used as a dominant concept to re-examine the evolution of Western philosophy and science in the 19th and 20th centuries, and re-examine the Kantian-Crocian influence upon him for the construction of his own aesthetic theory of "artification of life." The researches on Zhu's concept of "organic entity" are generally superficial for their focus on his organic knowledge, which has not done full justice to Zhu's two-fold effort in applying the concept for his final breakthrough of the Kantian-Crocian influence to construct his aesthetic theory system.
