漫议王国维的“意境”说

Wang Guowei's idea of artistic conception

"意境"和"境界"是王国维文学思想的重要概念,两者没有实质性差别。他的意境说始则受叔本华哲学影响,后有怀疑,故其内涵有变化。其中王氏提出的"无我之境",从意境的整体性、创作过程以及以往词作实践来看,实际是不存在的。王氏自己曾两度扬弃"无我之境"的旧说,值得人们体会和深察。

conception and realm are two important concepts without essential difference in Wang Guowei's literary thought. His idea of artistic conception was influenced by Schopenhauer's philosophy in the beginning and later its connotations changed because of his doubt about it. 'Realm without me' put forward by him did not exist in fact from the perspectives of the integrity of artistic conception, creating process and the practice of Ci-writing. It is worth studying that Wang sublated the idea of realm without me twice.
