英国经验主义美学论审美趣味

On aesthetic delight by the british empirical aesthetics

随着哲学研究的重心由本体论向认识论的转移,心理学分析也就逐步深入,因而美学中有关主体的各方面问题也变得越来越突出,审美趣味的问题就成了18世纪整个欧洲美学研究的中心概念之一,几乎与美的概念具有同等重要的地位。而这一点在英国经验主义美学的成熟的代表人物那里表现得成为突出。休谟和博克对此都进行了多角度的比较深入的分析。

Along with the transition of the focus of philosophy research from ontology to epistemology, psychological analysis gradually penetrates. Therefore, the problems around subjects become more and moreprominent and aesthetic delight was the central concept of the 18th century aesthetic research in Europe, which was almost as important as the concept of beauty itself. Both Hume and Burke made comparatively deep analysis of it.
