亚里士多德音乐美学研究

Study on the Music Aesthetics of Aristotle

亚里士多德的音乐概念,一方面,从器乐代表音乐来看,它是一种器乐中心主义的音乐观;另一方面,从模仿论而言,它又是一种内容美学的音乐观。它与汉斯立克的器乐音乐代表音乐的概念,即绝对音乐观是不同的。因为汉斯立克认为音乐是一种无对象的形式美,而在亚里士多德那里音乐是一种有对象的内容美(性格)。因此,同为器乐中心主义的音乐观念,一个离不开对象而言说音乐,使之成为内容美学;一个则否定音乐有对象,而成为形式美学。他们各自代表着不同的思想类型。

From the instrumental music point of view,the musical concept of Aristotle is an instrument-centered philosophy.At the same time it is a content-aesthetic musical philosophy in the eyes of the mimesis.It is different from Eduard Hanslick's theory that all music is represented by instrumental music (absolute music).Hanslick considers music is a form of beauty that has no object,but Aristotle sees it as a form of material beauty (character) with objects.The two represent differences in thinking.
