近三十年中国美学史专著中的若干问题

A Commentary on the History Treatises of Chinese Aesthetics in Last Thirty Years

中国美学史专著的撰写与出版历时已近三十年。虽然成果不少,但从新世纪的理论水准衡量,还存在一系列问题,主要是中国美学史研究对象的区分与确定、中国美学成长成熟过程的动态把握、美学发展的外因与内因的关系、外在文化影响的多元性、艺术审美活动及其反思的丰富多样的还原、史论结合的阐释与重构等。如何解决好这些问题,是美学史研究与专著撰写的进一步深入和前进的空间。关键是要更新旧有的观念,面向事情的本身,穿越历史的语境,不仅纵观中国美学历时千年的艰难成长历程,也洞察中国美学史研究本身在世纪之交经历的视野转换。

The writing and publication of the history treatises of Chinese aesthetics have undergone for approximately thirty years. Although a lot of books have been produced, if being measured with the new methodical standard of the 21st century, there still exist many problems. Of them mainly are. the identification of research subjects of the history of Chinese aesthetics; the dynamic grasp of the growing and maturing processes of Chinese aesthetics; the relationship between exterior and interior factors for aesthetics development; the multiplicity of outer cultural influences; the restoration of the richness and manifoldness of art aesthetic activity and its reflection; the reconstructive hermeneuties through combining the historical facts and theory and so forth. How to resolve these problems is the prerequisite to deepen the study on the history of Chinese aesthetics and to improve the writing relevant treatise. The key lies in that we should renew our old ideas and face directly the matters themselves, not only penetrating] the difficult developing road of Chinese aesthetics over thousand years, but also discerning the change of research scope on the history of Chinese aesthetics at the century turn.
