论朱光潜先生《谈美书简》的局限性——兼向国家教育部提建议

Limitations of Zhu Guangqian's Tanmei Shujian

虽然"拨乱反正"是中国政治生活中的一件大好事,但以此为出发点的"美论",却仍然很有可能以"政治的逻辑"替代"学术的逻辑"。一本书的价值不单取决于该书的客观属性,而且还受到了价值主体的需求和接受水平的制约。既然《谈美书简》是"新课标"向中学生推荐的读物,那么,就应该对其接受的可行性进行分析。朱光潜先生的《谈美书简》不适合高中生们阅读,建议国家教育部修改《普通高中语文课程标准》(实验)"课外读物的建议"部分。

It was a good deed to check the tendency of turmoil and return to the correct path in the Chinese political life.But the aesthetic theory starting from this point might have substituted 'political logic' for 'academic logic.' The value of a book is not only decided by its objective traits but also bound by the needs and receptive capacity of the subject of value.Since Tanmei Shujian 谈美书简(Essays on Beauty)is a book recommended to the middle school students by New Course Syllabus,the analysis of its feasibility of acceptance is worthy of being analyzed.This book is not suitable for the middle school students to read.It is suggested that the Ministry of Education of China modify the part of 'Suggestions for Extracurricular Readings' collected in Chinese Language Course Criteria in General Senior Middle School.
