提问的思路分析与美学的出路

Analysis of the Train of Thought for Questioning and the Outlet of Aesthetics

从提问的思路分析我们可以看出,"美是什么"这个问题惟有持形而上学思维方式和二元世界观的西方人才能提出,同时又注定了这个问题不可能被这类西方人解决。这种思维方式预设了一个精神性的实体,然后从此出发寻求解决的方案,这显然是个头脚倒置的思维方式。中国传统思维虽有许多缺陷,但也有许多优势,是有助于这个问题的解决的。

Proceeding from the train of how the question ＂what is beauty＂ we can conclude that such a question can only be raised by those westerners that hold metaphysical mentality and the world outlook of dualism, and that it is also predestined not to be solved by such westerners. The mentality presupposes the existence of a spiritual entity and starts in pursuit of a solution. Obviously, it is one of the solutions that put the cart before the horse. Though the traditional Chinese mentality may be flawed, yet there are advantages, which might provide a solution to the problem.
