中国美学的历程与转向

Chinese Aesthetics:Process and Shift

中国美学学科的真正建立是在1949年以后,在第一次美学热潮中由国家主导定向并定型为马克思主义美学。从20世纪80年代晚期起,中国美学研究就有了有意识的突围与转向。在转向的过程中必然会产生由谁或由什么为现在美学的转向定向的问题,或者说,美学向哪个方向发展才是合理的和科学的?美学的定向首先应该是学科本身为自己的定向,其次是美学要做自己应该做的事情。对于人类为什么会有审美活动,如何解释审美过程、审美现象等展开的研究,是符合美学的学科本性的。依照这个方向建立起来的美学学科具有普适性,具有巨大的理论力量。确定哪些是美学应该做的事情,则需要美学不断地向自己提问,从现实的经济、文化、教育、日常生活中发现问题并寻找解决问题的途径和方法。

The true establishment of Chinese aesthetics was after 1949, country-led and stereotyped as Marxist aesthetics in the first wave of aesthetics. Since the late 1980s, Chinese aesthetics research started a conscious breakout and shift. In the process of shift there inevitably rises problem as whom or by what oriented for the present aesthetic shift, or that to which the direction of the aesthetic development will be reasonable and scientific？ Aesthetics should be directed first of all disciplines for its own orientation, followed by aesthetics should do its own thing. The research on why there are aesthetic of human activities, and how to interpret the aesthetic process, aesthetic phenomena and so on around a particular aspect of the human being is in line with the nature of aesthetic subjects. In accordance with this direction will set up a universal aesthetic discipline with great theoretical power. To determine what is the supposed task of aesthetics are questions to be put forward to by itself, to be sought for and solved from the realistic economy, culture, education, and daily life.
