普罗提诺审美理念探析

A study on Plotinus' aesthetics idea

什么是美?这是传统美学的核心问题。普罗提诺更多地继承和发展了精神导师柏拉图的理念论美学观,以自己的三一本体论回答了美本身的问题,认为美不是物体美也不是灵魂美,美就是理智,就是神,但美本身还要回归它的本源,在一种宗教的神秘迷狂中与太一相合一。这种美即神的审美理念深深地影响到了中世纪基督教美学和近现代的宗教美学观念。

The core question of traditional aesthetics is what beauty is. Plotinus inherited Plato＇s aesthetics ide- a and answered the question by his hypostasis. He thinks beauty isn＇t body beauty nor soul beauty but is Intellect, i.e. God. But beauty itself must return to its origin, and unifies with the One in a mystical ecstasy. This aesthetics idea influences profoundly Christian aesthetics of Middle Ages and religious aesthetics of modem ages.
