老子辩证美学思想刍论

Discussion About the Dialectical Thought of Laozi's Aesthetics

老子是道家学派的创始人,同时也是道家美学思想的奠基者。在老子的哲学中,美是老子所追求的最高境界,并将其与作为最高实体的"道"有机地结合起来,达到了"道美合一"。老子从多维的角度辩证地论述了虚实观、美丑观、形神观等美学范畴,并对构成审美范畴,矛盾双方的相互转化等辩证思想进行完整的阐述。因此,老子的辩证美学思想具有深刻的思辩性和完整性,这对以后美学的发展及现代社会都具有十分重要的意义。

Laozi is one of the founders of Taolism and his aesthetics as well. In his philosophy, beauty is the highest realm he had been seeking, and reached perfect pursuit in the combination of 'Tao' and beauty by combining organically with the loftiest substance—— 'Tao'. With the multiple echelons of dialectics, Laozi had expounded the aesthe'tics category of false or true, beauty or uglier, form or content; elaborated the dialectical thought of transformation, which form up the contradictory of aesthetics category. His dialectical aesthetics has integrity and delicate characters. And they have very important significance in the future development of aesthetics and modern society.
