中国美学范畴史研究的一点思路

An Opinion on Approach to the History of Chinese Aesthetic Categories

在分析“范畴”一词之本义与引申义的基础上,学科、学理意义上中国美学范畴史的研究之所以是“合法”的,首先是由于中国人文史上,实际存在有待于建构中国美学范畴史之大量范畴及其群落的思想与思维资源之故。而诸多关于中国美学的命题、范畴及其群落,在思维方式上,是诗性问题的知性思考、天人合一问题的天人相分之研究成果。从而回答了所谓“中国美学范畴史研究”这一提法“难以成立”的看法。

On the premise of the original and extended meanings of the word ＂category＂, in a sense of the subject and deduction, the approach to the history of Chinese aesthetic categories is ＂lawful＂. This is because, in the history of Chinese humanities, there are large quantity of categories that are to be used as the setting up of the history of Chinese aesthetic categories, as well as having a wealthy of groups＇ thought and thinking resources. Many propositions, categories and groups concerning with Chinese aesthetics, in terms of thinking patterns, are the rational reflection on poetic questions, and the approach to the ＂disharmony of man with nature＂ of the ＂harmony of man with nature＂, thus demonstrating the incorrectness of being ＂difficult to come into existence＂ of the ＂approach to the historv of Chinese aesthetic categories＂.
