现代性与现代艺术审美刍议

A Tentative Speculation upon Modernity and Modern Aesthetics

本文尝试对现代性、审美与两者的关系进行浅层次的初步探讨.作者从澄清现代化、现代主义及现代性这三个不同的题域着手,指出产生现代性精神危机以及导致逻各斯中心主义成为西方现代思想集中攻击目标的根源.在说明现代主义艺术既拒斥传统又继承传统的双重特性的同时,作者对现代性审美的发端、追求、后果及矛盾的产生也进行了论述,并期待着审美理念在后工业后现代时代展露全新的审美视角.

This paper intends to make a tentative discussion of the conceptio n of modernity and aesthetics as well as the interaction between them. Starting from the clarification of three notions concerned, the author points out where t he pervasive spiritual crisis in the modern world and the massive current trend of anti-logocentrism stem from. At the same time of illustrating modernism's in h eritance from and rejection to the tradition, which is characteristic of dual n ature, the author explains the origin, the pursuit, the results, and the en suing of the contradiction with regard to modern aesthetics, which accounts for researchers' or thinkers' anticipation for a new aesthetic dimension in the cont ext of post-modern society.
