当代中国美学的价值责任

Responsibility on Value by Contemporary China's Aesthetics

近年来,软实力逐渐上升到国家战略层次,文化是软实力的基础和核心。当前国内外局势表明,中国软实力需要一种刚健有为、积极进取的文化精神。然而美学作为文化建设的主要学科力量,却游离于这一任务之外。美学的研究现状出现两极化倾向:或仍对美学本体论争论不休,或关注二三级学科和流行趣尚。美学应担负起重振国民文化精神的责任。以《周易》代表的崇尚阳刚奋健的美学精神和近代至当代的中国文艺思想,为此提供了理论资源和现实经验。

In recent years, soft power has gradually risen to the state strategic level. As the base and core of soft power is culture, it has been shown by domestic and international situations that China＇ s soft power requires an energetic, progressive, active and striving cultural spirit. However, as a main academic composition of cultural construction, aesthetics is disassociated with this task. The present researches on aesthetics have shown a tendency of polarization： either focusing on ontological disputes or concerning on second or third class subjects and popular fashion. Aesthetics should take the responsibility of rebuilding citizen＇s euhuml spirits, for which the aesthetic spirit of advocating masculine health and striving represented in the ＂Book of Changes＂ and modem and contemporary Chinese literature thinking offer theoretical resources and practical experience.
