同情——宗白华美学思想的基本范畴

Sympathy—the Basic Category of Zong Bai-hua's Esthetics

宗白华在其美学思考中引入了"同情"这一范畴。他所说的"同情",既强调"情感状态的相通与相同",又强调主体对于对象理解与交流的"主动"。这一范畴的引入凸显了宗白华美学思考的价值追求,也使宗白华"艺术是创作主体人格的外化"的基本美学观念得到了拓展、提升,同时还为他将自己的人格美学思想与其对宇宙人生真相的探求结合起来做好了理论准备,从而保障了其以救世情怀为价值根基的美学思想体系的完善。

Zong Bai-hua introduces the category of ＂sympathy＂ in his esthetic thinking,which stresses not only ＂connection and similarity＂ of the emotional state,but also the activeness of the subject main body in understanding and interacting with the object.The introduction of this category has highlighted Zong Bai-hua’s value pursuit in his esthetics and expanded his esthetic notion that art is the open manifestation of the creator’s personality.Meanwhile,it theoretically prepares for the combination of his personal esthetic thoughts and the search of truth in cosmos and life,thus it guarantees an improvement of his esthetics ideology system with salvation as the value foundation.
