蒋孔阳“自然物的美在于它与人的关系”命题的意义——兼论“无人美学的自然美论”

The Significance of Jiang Kongyang’s Proposition “The Beauty of Natural Things Lies in the Practical Significance of Its Relationship with Man”——On the “Natural Beauty Theory of Unmanned Aesthetics”

蒋孔阳的《美学新论》提出了"自然物的美不在于自然物本身,而在于它与人的关系"的命题,至今仍然具有强烈的现实意义。蒋孔阳从自然与自然美的区别、自然和自然美的历史发展过程、作为审美主体的人、自然美的生成等方面论证了这个命题。但是,"自然美只在于自然本身的自然属性"在今天仍然有许多人坚持,而且有所变本加厉,大有颠覆"自然物的美不在于自然物本身,而在于它与人的关系"的命题之势。我们应该继承和发扬蒋孔阳的"自然物的美不在于自然物本身,而在于它与人的关系"的命题,在百花齐放的学术讨论中,推进中国当代美学的繁荣发展。

Jiang Kongyang’s New Theory of Aesthetics puts forward the proposition that the beauty of natural things lies not in the nature itself,but in its relationship with human beings.Jiang demonstrated this proposition from the aspects of the difference between natural and natural beauty,the historical development process of natural and natural beauty,the human being as the aesthetic subject,and the generation of natural beauty.However,the proposition"the beauty of nature lies only in the natural attributes of nature itself"is widely insisted today,and even has been intensified to take over Jiang’s proposition.Jiang’s point is still of practical significance.It should be promoted and discussed in academic circles that encourage various voices.
