自由时代的完美囚徒——从知识流变看审美现代性的边界

Ideal Convict in Free Times——Viewing the boundary of aesthetic modernity from change of knowledge stray

审美的特殊身份为审美现代性在一定场合通过批判方式表达现代性思想立场排除障碍,但审美话语的过度膨胀却又弱化了这样的批判。本文以“审美”的语义学探求为基点,追溯审美现代性的哲学流变和知识理念动力,论述审美现代性的极端形式、审美主义的存在基础和这一基础隐含的审美现代性的内在矛盾,进而认为勘定审美现代性的边界,视之为诸多现代性批判的一种方案,将有助于审美现代性的话语再生产。

The special capacity of aesthetics, by means of criticism, smoothes barriers for aesthetic modernity in its expressions of ideological modernity in some situations ,while the over-expansion of aesthetic remarks weakens the criticism. This article, based on semantic study of ＂aesthetics＂ , and by tracing the philosophical stray of modernity and conceptual drive of knowledge, expounds the grounds for the existence of aestheticism and the internal contradiction implied in the grounds,which then helps arrive at the conclusion that to define the boundary of aesthetic mordernity and regard it as one programme about modernity-related criticism among many others will help reproduce the remarks of aesthetic modernity.
