论审美个体主义

On Aesthetic Individualism

德国生命哲学家倭铿在《审美个体主义之体系》一文中详尽讨论了"审美个体主义"的诸多面相。倭铿认为,由于审美个体主义脱离了社会历史语境,它不仅不能真正解决现代人的矛盾与冲突,反而带来人生意义的虚无与荒谬。"审美个体主义"的主要特征和理论局限主要表现在四个方面:对个人审美自由的追求,对虚幻彼岸世界的迷恋,对绝对快乐与轻松的向往,对纯粹主观性的崇拜。

R. Eucken had a detailed discussion about all faces of aesthetic individualism which could neither really solve the contradictions and conflicts of modern man nor bring the significance of life, be- cause it separates from the social and historical context. According to the critique of aesthetic individualism by R. Eucken, we can see the main features and theoretical limitations of aesthetic individualism in four fields：the pursuit of the individual aesthetic freedom, the obsession of the other side of the world, the yearning for absolute pleasure and ease,and the cult of pure subjectivity.
