实践乌托邦再批判——答张玉能先生

A Re-criticism on Utopia of Practice:Response to Mr. Zhang Yuneng

实践以物质生产为基本形式,实践不包括精神生产。实践是主体性活动,不能克服主体与客体的对立,因此也不能实现自由。美不是实践的产物,实践不能解释审美的性质。实践美学是主体性美学,不能解释审美何以可能。审美是主体间性的实现,存在的主体间性解决了审美何以可能的问题。

Practice has material production as its fundamental form. It does not include spiritual production. Practice is an activity of subjectivity, and it cannot smooth over the contradiction between subject and object. Therefore, it cannot realize freedom. Beauty is not a product from practice. Practice cannot account for the nature of taste. Practice aesthetics is aesthetics of subjectivity, so it cannot explain why taste is possible. Taste is the realization of inter-subjectivity. The existent inter-subjectivity solves the problem how taste is possible.
