Abstract

Increasing the aesthetic needs in arts and literature is a great policy of the Party and our State towards a higher spiritual living quality for people aiming at comprehensive human development. The article points out 4 main contradictions confronting the process of attaining these targets. They are the contradiction between the tradition and the modern, the self and the ego, the entertainment features and the artistic, between the goal of increasing the aesthetic needs for people and the real situation of art and literature management. For these reasons, some measures are proposed to overcome the contradictions aiming at the realization of the policy for increasing the aesthetic needs of arts and literature in the real life that makes aesthetic culture more endosmotic into all aspects of the social life.
