作为方法的蒋孔阳美学思想

Jiang Kongyang's Aesthetic Thought as a Method

在中国现代美学谱系中,蒋孔阳是继王国维等第一代美学家、朱光潜和宗白华等第二代美学家之后第三代美学家的杰出代表。他上承第一代和第二代美学家,悉心探寻西方美学范式、苏联美学范式及中国美学传统三者之间的汇通道路。他的美学研究道路经历了三个时段:一是20世纪50年代后期融合西方美学与苏联美学而形成文艺特征论;二是20世纪80年代致力西方美学史与中国美学史的相互汇通;三是20世纪90年代前期体现走出西方美学话语而构建中国现代美学体系的努力。蒋孔阳是中国现代美学第三代中成就卓著和富于独特学术个性的杰出美学家,他的美学思想具有更加重要的方法论价值:一种由两纵两横交织而组成的美学研究方法构造。这种美学研究方法以西方美学史学和中国美学史学构成两纵、以文艺特征学和美学体系学构成两横,共同组成一种在中西美学史学融通中结合文艺特征研究而构造美学体系的研究方法。

In the spectrum of modern Chinese aesthetics,Jiang Kongyang is an outstanding representative of the third generation of aestheticians,following the first generation of aestheticians such as Wang Guowei and the second generation of aestheticians such as Zhu Guangqian and Zong Baihua.He inherited from the first and second generations of aestheticians and carefully explored the convergence path between Western aesthetic paradigms,Soviet aesthetic paradigms,and Chinese aesthetic traditions.His aesthetic research path has gone through three periods:first,in the late 1950s,he integrated Western aesthetics with Soviet aesthetics to form the theory of literary characteristics;Secondly,in the 1980s,efforts were made to promote the integration of Western aesthetic history and Chinese aesthetic history;Thirdly,in the early 1990s,efforts were made to break away from Western aesthetic discourse and build a modern Chinese aesthetic system.Jiang Kongyang is an outstanding aesthetician with outstanding achievements and unique academic personality in the third generation of modern Chinese aesthetics.His aesthetic ideas have more important methodological value:a construction of aesthetic research methods composed of two interwoven vertical and two horizontal elements.This aesthetic research method consists of two vertical sections:Western aesthetic history and Chinese aesthetic history,and two horizontal sections:literary characteristic studies and aesthetic system studies.Together,it forms a research method that combines literary characteristic studies in the integration of Chinese and Western aesthetic history to construct an aesthetic system.
