论美的客体性和客观性

On Aesthetic Object and Objectivity

在后现代语境下,由于主客对立二分的思维模式遭到质疑和消解,美的客体性和客观性仿佛已经不言而喻地被取消了。但是,从本体论(存在论)角度来看,美作为客体的存在是不可能取消的,审美对象与审美主体不可能构成现实的“主体间性”;从认识论角度来看,美只能是人们认识的对象,美和美感不能混淆,美是不依赖于人的主观意识的客体的属性;从价值论角度来看,美是客体的审美价值,美离不开人的审美需要和人类社会,但是美可以而且事实上独立于每个审美主体的美感而显现出审美价值和意义。

Under postmodemism, the aesthetic object and objectivity have been evidently abolished due to the antithesis between the subjective and objective thinking modes. However, aesthetic, as the existence of object, is not to be abolished when looking from the point of ontology; aesthetic object and subject cannot form the realistic interobjectivity. On the other hand, when looking from epistemology, aesthetic is only the object of human cognition; it should be confused with aesthetic sense. Aesthetic is objective which is beyond human subjective consciousness. Finally, when looking from the point of value, aesthetic is the value of the object; it cannot be separated from aesthetic need and human society, but can be, and in fact is, independent from aesthetic subject to show its value and significance.
