论乔治·迪基的艺术制度理论——兼论艺术定义与艺术实践的关系

On George Dickie’s institutional theory of art——and the relationship between definition of art and artistic practice

在西方分析美学关于艺术定义的专题研究中,乔治·迪基是最著名的一位美学家,他把艺术定义为"一种创造出来展现给艺术界公众的人工制品",他的艺术制度理论使人们关注艺术所处的外在条件和制度。迪基后期借助于语言哲学的最新发展对他的艺术制度理论进行了辩护和发展,使之更加实证化。迪基艺术制度理论的局限性在于他的艺术定义太过于空洞,而艺术定义根本上是以艺术实践为基础的。

As for the research about the definition of art in western analytic aesthetics, George Dickie is the most important aesthetician. He defines artwork as ＂an artifact created to present to public of artworld＂, and his institutional theory of art makes people concern with external condition and institution of art. Later Dickie justifies his institutional theory of art with the help of the lingual philosophy, and puts forward a positive theory. But his definition of art is too empty, which should be based on the artistic practice.
