普遍性:中国美学古今会通的现实途径

在全球化背景下,美学的多元发展及向日常生活领域的拓展,一方面为美学的复兴带来了新的前景,另一方面也因理论的失范而陷入重大的存在危机。据此,重新厘定美学的学科边界,并在此基础上为多元并存的美学重建理论共识,就成为防止美学在无序扩张中自我取消的必然选择。为此,本刊约请了几位专家,以笔谈的形式探索在中西之间、古典与现代之间、审美文化与美学的固有范式之间建立美的基本共识的可能性,冀为建立全球化时代的美学整体观累积理论共识。

Against a background of globalization,aesthetics has become so pluralistic as to have extended into our daily life,which indicates the prospects of either its revival or its crisis.That is why we should remark the boundary of aesthetics and reconstruct its theory so as to prevent its self-destruction in the course of its unrestrained expansion.
