柏拉图之前的古希腊文学(艺)形式观

The Outlook on the Form of Ancient Greek Literature(Art) Prior to Plato

远在柏拉图之前,古希腊哲人和文艺创作者从不同角度、不同立场对文艺形式做了探讨和表述,虽然不成体系,限于只言片语,但却开创了从形式方面探索文艺规律的传统,对柏拉图、亚里士多德等的文学(艺)形式观,乃至当今西方形式主义文论皆有启发和影响。

Prior to Plato, the ancient Greek philosophers and authors only briefly studied and stated literature and art from different angles and standpoints. Their views were not systematic and of phrase or expression, but they created the tradition that we explore the law of literature and art in terms of form and affected the outlook on the form of literature and art of Plato and Aristotle and other philosophers, even influencing the contemporary Western formalism theory.
