朗吉弩斯与“崇高”辨析

Discrimination of Longinus and Sublime

《论崇高》作为美学史上的一颗明珠 ,其作者并非 1世纪的朗吉弩斯 ,而是 3世纪的朗吉弩斯。其“崇高”不是纯修辞学的含义 ,也不是纯美学的含义 ,而是蕴含了从修辞学向美学的过渡及二者的统一。人们对《论崇高》的判断 ,不是求真的逻辑判断 ,不是对文本质的规定性的理性开掘 ,而是一种价值判断 ,也是对文本意义的情感体验与感悟。因此 ,我们应该从《论崇高》全篇整体的角度出发 ,从西方美学发展史特别是美学范畴、概念的演变史出发 ,全面、系统、完整的理解和判断朗吉弩斯“崇高”

The author of On Sublime, a bright pearl in the history of aesthetics, is Longinus in the 3rd century rather than Longinus in the 1st century. Instead of belonging to pure rhetoric or pure aesthetics, his Sublime implicates the transition from rhetoric to aesthetics and the unity of the two. The judgment of On Sublime is not the logical judgment of seeking truth or the rational development of the character in the text, but a judgment of value or emotional experience and understanding of the meaning in the text. Therefore, in an all-sided and systematic way, we should understand and judge the implication of the Sublime of Longinus from the angle of the whole text and development history in western aesthetics, especially the evolution history of the aesthetic scope and concept.
