儒家美学思想研究在21世纪的新进展

Progresses of the Study of Confucian Aesthetic Ideology in the 21st Century

进入21世纪以来,儒家美学思想研究突出了两种研究趋向,一是经典范畴和命题的清理与转换,比如,“兴”、“乐”以及美与善的关系等。研究者不但对其基本内涵作出解释,还多从新的角度、新的理论出发阐释其现代内涵,在传统范畴和命题与现代美学之间实现理论的对话与衔接,使其在内涵上完成现代转换;二是新的研究领域的开拓,比如,儒家美育思想研究、儒家生态智慧研究等。这种研究趋向多表现为从现代美学问题的角度充分挖掘传统儒家美学思想资源,试图把传统儒家美学资源直接整合于现代美学思想的建构之中,从而实现传统儒家美学思想的现代转换。

Since the beginning of the 21^st century, the study of the Confucian aesthetic ideology has concentrated on two aspects. One is the clarification and transformation of classical categories and propositions, for instance ＂xing （ 兴 ） ＂, ＂yue （ 乐 ）＂, the relation between beauty and good and so On. The researchers have not only explained their concepts, but also interpreted them from the new theoretical angles in order make the dialogue between traditional categories and propositions, and modem aesthetics possible. Another is the discovery of new area of research, for instance, Confucian aesthetic education, Confucian wisdom of ecology and so on. This line of research has been carried out mainly to reevaluate traditional aesthetic theories from the modem aesthetic angles in order to integrate traditional Confucian aesthetic ideas with modem aesthetics, and finally to realize the transformation of traditional Confucian aesthetic ideology.
