艺术起源说考辨

A Study on Theories of the Origin of Art

艺术的起源具有原因多元性：物种的进化、人类的生成、人和高等动物的视听快感的联系，为它提供了生物学、生理性的基础；生殖繁衍和两性之爱又为其提供了生物学的和社会学的必要前提；原始巫术活动是艺术发生的最重要的“契机”；人类的物质性生产实践是艺术发生的社会学的终极性根源。另外还有游戏、语言、意识、心灵表现等等，也都是艺术起源中不可或缺的条件和机制。只有正确认识和掌握了这些条件因素及其关系。

Abstract The origin of art is characteristic of plurality in its causes:evolution of species,the human species coming into being,the connection of audio visual sensation of pleasure between man and higher animals,all of them providing it with biological and physiological bases;reproduction and multiplication,and love between sexse,also supplying it with biological and sociological prerequites;primitive witchcraft activities being an important“juncture”at which art arises;humans practices in productive labour for materials being the ultimate sociological cause for occurrence of art.In addition,there are other factors,such as game playing,language,consciousness,mental representation,etc.,which make conditions and provide mechanisms for the rise of art.Accordingly,only by coming to know and grasp these conditions,factors and their relations can various theories of the origin of art be dialectically analysed and correctly understood.
