后现代主义的兴起，曾让美学一度沦落，甚至有了一个“坏名声”。而朗西埃必须面对的一个问题是，在后现代主义流行的今天，是否还有必要去重申美学的价值。朗西埃的答案是肯定的，因为美学最核心的机制就是可感物的分配，而我们之所以需要美学，恰恰是一种政治的需要，即让那些在美学体制之下异质性的，被视为无法发声、无法展现出来的要素自己展现出来，这种展现需要我们的美感，更需要我们变革美学体制，即作为政治的美学。

With the rise of postmodernism, aesthetics has once degenerated into a “bad reputation”. As a result, what Jacques Ranciere should confront today with postmodernism prevailing is whether it is worthwhile reclaiming the value of aesthetics. However, Ranciere gives us a positive answer. As the core mechanism of aesthetics is the distribution of the sensible, what we require of aesthetics is precisely a political one, to make those heterogeneous, speechless essentials to present themselves, which needs not only our aisthesis, but also the change of aesthetical mechanism—aesthetics as politics.
