说趣味——兼论审美评价的逻辑依据

Taste and logical basis for aesthetic review

在艺术活动中,“审美专制主义”曾对诗性文化形成一种精神窒息。但与之相反的“审美无政府主义”同样也是对诗性创造力的取消。人类艺术文化的繁荣格局,来自于一种“多元普遍性”。营造这种格局的关键,在于如何从逻辑上来把握“审美趣味”与一般“生活口味”的差异。概括地看,审美趣味的普遍性意味着一种客观性原则的确立,从而也是审美评价的立场的确立。这使批评有可能对具体审美实践作出优与劣的区分。但审美趣味的主体经验性,又意味着这种普遍性只能存在于一个宽广的空间。

Aesthetic absolutism throttles the poetic culture, while aesthetic anarchism eliminates it. The prosperity of human art culture depends on the existence of a 'multi-element generality.' The key point is how to distinguish between the aesthetic taste and the general life taste in terms of logic. Broadly speaking, the generality of the aesthetic taste means an establishment of an objective principle, that is an establishment of the standing point of aesthetic review, which will enable critiques to distinct whether the practice of aesthetic review is good or bad. However, the quality of 'Subject Experience' of the aesthetic taste means that this generality can only exist in a wider space.
