美育与人的养成

Aesthetic Education and the Nurture of Character

德国伟大的诗人、美学家席勒根据他所处时代人的生存状态、人性的分裂,提出了美育问题。二百多年过去了,美育问题依然是人们非常关注的话题,甚至显得比席勒那个时代更为紧迫。物质至上,急功近利,世俗主义,享乐思想的蔓延,要求我们真正的理解美育问题的内涵及其对人的生命价值导向上的重要作用,从而使人在生存与发展中真正实现和谐与自由。

The great German poet and aesthetician, Friedrich von Schiller, propounded the question of aesthetic education on the basis of the state of existence and split personality of his day. More than two centuries has passed, but aesthetic education remains a topic that catches people's attention, and it may be even more conspicuous today than it was in Shiller's day. The spread of materialism, secularism and hedonism necessitates a true understanding of the connotation of aesthetic education and its guidance to the value to life so as to achieve the true harmony and freedom in people's existence and development.
