审美是个体性与社会性的生成论统一——对一个长期争议的美学问题的澄清

Aesthetics is Generative Oneness of Individuality and Sociality——On a Long Time Controversy of an Aesthetic Problem

上世纪九十年代以来,随着现代性对我国美学研究的影响日趋深入,审美不断被看作超越于或优先于社会性的单纯个体性活动。但是,对审美性质的这种理解一方面误解了现代性,另一方面把个体性和社会性都视为了固定不变、彼此对立分裂的先在实体,因而仍坚持着形而上学现成论立场。本文从实践存在论美学观出发,立足超越形而上学这一根本立场,对这一长期争议的重要美学问题作出澄清,指出审美活动是个体性与社会性在生成论意义上的有机统一,马克思和海德格尔对此均留下了宝贵思想线索,实际的审美活动同样有力地证明了这一性质。

From the 1990s, with deeper influence of modernity, Chinese aesthetic research often regards aesthetics as the activity full of pure individuality, which transcends or gives priority to sociality. However, this understanding misunderstands modernity, and this understanding also sees both individuality and sociality, which seems fixed and divisive each other, as the preexistent things. Hence this understanding also insists on metaphysical standpoint. To clear up the long time controversy of this significant aesthetic problem, this paper is based on Practice-ontology aesthetics and the purpose of transcending metaphysics, and points that aesthetics is generative oneness of individuality and sociality. Marx and Heidegger left important thinking clues. What＇s more, the actual aesthetic activities prove this nature.
