越殊而共:浅谈中国美学的自我深化

Surpassing the Personality and Seeking for Generality——A Brief Comment on Self-Deepening of Chinese Aesthetics

20世纪后期中国美学的民族文化个性本位立场与其强烈的国际认同诉求相矛盾。中国美学不只属于中国,也属于全人类。中国美学要成为科学,就要以普遍性追求为最高宗旨。走出民族文化本位立场,以中华审美之特殊性材料研究人类美学之普遍性问题,似可成为新世纪中国美学自我深化的一个具体途径。

For Chinese aesthetics in the latter half of the 20th century, there is a contradiction between the egoistic position of national cultural personality and the strong narration and request of international identification. Chinese aesthetics belongs not only to China but also to the whole world. In order to be scientific, it must take the pursuit of generality as the greatest purpose. Going out of the egoistic position of national culture and making an approach to the generality of human aesthetics by way of individual materials of Chinese aesthetics, seems to be one of the useful ways to the self-deepening of Chinese aesthetics in the new century.
