审美虚静说探析

The Exploration on the Theory of Aesthetic “Vacant and Quiet”

儒道佛三家共有的重心灵体验的认识方式,所追求的中国文化的柔静精神,是审美虚静说的哲学渊源。其理论内涵是,审美主体在进入审美活动之前必须去物去我,保持一种空灵、宁静的审美心态。具体包括:去物但得物之内在精神;去我但得灵心独运的审美效应。审美虚静说的科学性可从生理学、心理学和异质同构说三个角度进行论证。

The common cognitive manner of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddha that attached importance to interior experience and the spirit of quietness of the Chinese culture has its philosophical origin from the theory of aesthetic “vacant and quiet”. The theoretic connotation of the theory is, the aesthetic subject must get rid of substance and wit before starting aesthetic activity, and one must keep an vacant, pellucid, free and quiet mind. Specifically speaking, in this process the aesthetic subject first gets rid of substance but retains the inherent spirit of substance, gets rid of wit but retains unique aesthetic effect. I can demonstrate scientificalness of the theory of aesthetic “vacant and quiet” with three points of views which refers to physiology, psychology and the theory of different substance have alike configuration.
