Abstract Agnes Heller's concept of “aesthetic life，” based on the critique of everyday life， re-examines the relationship between art， aesthetics and everyday life. Aesthetic life is not merely the simple intervention of art in everyday life， rather， it is the value reconfiguration of everyday life through beauty and the liberating path of transcending the alienated state through reflective practice. Heller's philosophical reflections ultimately focus on the individual survival and destiny. The issue of aesthetic life actually responds to the long-standing discussions in academic history about the relationship between everyday life and art. Its unique theoretical contribution lies in providing both a rich and supplementary micro-level dimension for the Marxist theoretical framework， as well as a tension-filled solution to the issue of subjectivity and the possibility of individual liberation in modern conditions. Although aesthetic life appears contemplative due to its own limitations， it still provides thought-provoking intellectual resources for understanding aesthetic practices in the life world and responding to the predicaments of modernity.
