本体—工夫—境界:论中西比较视域下宋明理学美学的话语建构

Ben Ti-Gong Fu-Jing Jie:On Discourse Construction of Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism Aesthetics from the Comparative Perspectives of Chinese and Western Cultures

在中西文化比较的视域下,以“本体—工夫—境界”为核心范式,对宋明理学美学进行话语建构,既有学理的原因,也有历史的成因。“本体—工夫—境界”范式集中体现了中国美学主客一体、体用不二的思想内涵,与西方传统哲学的主客二分以及知、情、意三分形成鲜明对比,这也决定了二者对“天人之际”的终极识度及通达之途的不同理解。二者间的理论张力,使得“本体—工夫—境界”范式往往成为中西美学碰撞与交流时期的重要思想原型:在近现代,它包含在“境界论”与“体用论”的言说之中;在当代,其理论阐释更为自觉与深入,彰显出古典宋明理学美学在全球化时代的独特理论价值。

From the perspective of comparison between Chinese and Western cultures,the discourse construction of Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism aesthetics based on ben ti-gong fu-jing jie,which has both theoretical and historical reasons.Ben ti-gong fu-jing jie embodies the ideology of unification of subjectivity and objectivity and two-in-one of noumenon and phenomenon theory in Chinese aesthetics.This is in sharp contrast to the dichotomy of subject and object,as well as the tripartite division of cognition,emotion and will,in western tradition.This also indicates the different understandings of the ultimate issues and approaches to the relationship between the Being(tian)and the Human being(ren).The theoretical tension between the two makes ben ti-gong fu-jing jie often an important ideological archetype in collision and exchange between Chinese and Western aesthetics.In modern times,it is included in the discourse of realm(jing jie)and the noumenonphenomenon theory.Contemporary relevant theoretical interpretations are more conscious and in-depth,which shows the unique theoretical value of Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism Aesthetics in the era of globalization.
