直覺乃是：不加推理、不加記憶、不加思考，在人類心靈之中，當下直接全般領悟眼前個別事物的特性，是人類與生俱來的天賦，也是克羅齊美學的精髓。自古以來，美學理論派別林立，然而我們探討的目的，乃試圖透過各家學說以及他們對藝術的詮釋，來認識與藝術有關的：藝術家的創作活動、藝術品、藝術的欣賞與批評三大主題，以期對藝術有更深刻的瞭解，並對藝術教育有所裨益。義大利美學家克羅齊，在思想上受到黑格爾的影響，並遠承康德、維柯及文學史家多桑提司的影響，創立了以唯心主義觀點的精神哲學，他提出兩度四階的心靈哲學體系，來解釋人類意識的活動，闡釋「直覺」在人類精神人文建設中所扮演的角色。本文即透過克羅齊「藝術即直覺」的觀點，來探討其美學精義。同時也提出從事藝術創作方面，領導抽象風潮的大師康定斯基對直覺的看法及重視直覺的主張，加以印證與區分，以釐清直覺說對藝術創作所產生的效應。最後透過這兩位哲學家與藝術家，對藝術的詮釋與當前國內藝術教育課程，強調藝術與人文素養核心內涵的藝術學習的理念中，不能忽視的學生心靈層面。如何使青少年在藝術學習的過程，開發其藝術創作與欣賞的內在精神體認，應有相當重要的啟示。全文分為：前言、克羅齊的生平與思想背景、克羅齊美學的精義、克羅齊美學的效應、美學家與藝術家對話、當前藝術教育的趨勢、克羅齊美學對藝術教育的啟示、結論等，來加以敘述，就教於諸位先進：

Definition of intuition: without ratiocination, without memorizing, without thingking; the characteristic of direct comprehension of the individual object before our eyes, an innate ability of humans, and also the essence of Croce's Aesthetics. Factions of aestheticism theories have rivaled ever since times of old, and for our purposes, we will examine each theory and definition of art for a grasp of the creative activity of the artist, the work of art, art appreciation and art criticism. The three major themes will provide further insight into art, and benefit art education in the process. Aestheticist Benedetto Croce (1866-1952) , who was influenced by the thoughts of George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), Giambattista Vico (1668-1744), and philology historian De Sanctis (1817-1881), created a spiritual philosophy of idealism. He proposed a spiritual philosophy system of two degrees and four levels to explain the conscious human actions, defining the role “intuition” plays in the human spirit and human cultural construction. Through Croce's viewpoint “art is intuition,” we will explore the essence of its aestheticism. For artistic creations, we will take a look at master Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), a leading figure of the abstract trend. By confirming and differentiating between his thoughts toward intuition and opinion to value intuition, we will discern the effects the intuition theory has made on artistic creation. Finally, we will examine the definition of art through the eyes of these two philopophers and artists, and what it may inspire for the present. Of the beliefs of the current art education curriculum within the core of cultivating art and cultural content, the student's spiritual condition cannot be overlooked. How to develop teens' inner spiritual values of art creation and appreciation in the process of learning art? That is the question we will look into. The material is divided into: foreword, the life and philosophical background of Croce, the essence of Croce's aesthetics, the effects of Croce's aesthetics, conversation of aestheticists and artists, the trend of present day art education, how Croce's aesthetics has inspired art education, conclusion, etc., to give a vivid description of the whole picture.
