美的探询的动因

Back of the Quest for Beauty

西方人对美的探询产生美学这门学科,美学的发展在理论上逐步深入的揭示了人性的不同侧面。美学家的探询始于物之形用,继之以主体的心灵,最后却陷入尴尬的境地———美竟隐蔽、消失,而走出困境的关键在于审美能力的提高。审美能力源于人性,人性中的好奇与节制协调运作提高了审美能力,扩大了审美视野。美的探询实出于人性之必然,其结果又丰富了人性。

The discipline of aesthetics is the result of westerners quest for beauty, and its development reveals various facets of humanity. The quest began from the form and use of the subject, continued to the soul, only to eventually find that beauty unexpectedly eluded and disappeared. The key to get out of this dilemma is to uplift the ability to recognize beauty, the ability that originates from humanity. The coordination of curiosity and moderation improve this ability and expands the vision. The quest for beauty is out of the necessity of humanity, which in turn enriches humanity.
