中国传统美学的现代意义

The Modern Sense of the Chinese Traditional Aesthetics

中国传统美学的直观把握方式可以通过实践论哲学得到现代性阐释,并成为实践论哲学理解审美和艺术本质的一种思想方法论资源。中国古代那种把“自然的人化”和“人的自然化”完美结合起来的思想给我们提供了一个很好的参照。无论是庄子还是孔子,他们所表述出来的这种把无情的人生有情化、把无趣的生活审美化的思想,对于生活在高度心理压力下焦虑不堪、精神疾病增多的现代人,是一帖清凉的解毒剂;中国传统中通过把人生艺术化、审美化而实现对现实的审美超越方式,是克服现代人精神空虚和信仰危机的一个有效途径。

The intuitive approach in the Chinese traditional aesthetics can acquire modern illustration through philosophy on practice, and become one of the methodology sources in philosophy on practice for gaining insight into aesthetics and the nature of art. The thought of the combination of 'the personification of nature' and 'the naturalization of humans' originated in ancient China provides us with a beneficial reference. The thought of transforming the merciless life into the merciful and the tasteless life into the aesthetic formulated by Zhuang Zi and Confucius can be a cooling and detoxicating medicine for the modern people who live in enormous anxiety and suffer from increasing mental diseases due to enormous psychological pressure. The aesthetic approach to transcend the reality by making life more artistic and aesthetic is a valid channel through which to overcome the spiritual emptiness and crisis of the modern people.
