马克思主义美学的背景及发展探析

An Analysis of the Background and Development of Marxist Aesthetics

所有思想都是反映一个时代的产物。其中马克思主义哲学和美学也不例外。自16世纪英国产业革命后,资产阶级迅速发展,社会矛盾日益严重。为了改变社会,马克思主义美学强调对艺术的认识。同时承认艺术的相对独立性,强调艺术对人类社会的反作用。作为社会关系的反映,艺术掌握着社会变革的武器,马克思和恩格斯将艺术与实践直接联系起来,力求以审美的力量推进人类解放的进程。

All ideas are products that reflect an era. Among them, Marxist philosophy and aesthetics are no exception. Since the industrial revolution in England in the 16th century, the bourgeoisie developed rapidly and social contradictions became increasingly serious. In order to change society, Marxist aesthetics emphasized the understanding of art. At the same time, it recognized the relative independence of art and emphasized the counteraction of art to human society. As a reflection of social relations, art holds the weapon of social change, and Marx and Engels directly linked art to practice, seeking to advance the process of human liberation with the power of aesthetics.
