艺术对抗异化——阿多诺的审美救赎之路与现代主义的终结

Art Countering Alienation——Adorno's Aesthetic-Redemption Road and the End of Modernism

现代社会是一个坚不可摧的异化了的社会,它犹如"铁笼"一般牢牢将现代人囚禁于其中。而在这样"无望"实现解放的"铁笼"社会中,艺术则能以其自身的形式对苦难和罪恶进行赎救。阿多诺站在现代主义巅峰的高位上,以启蒙逻辑的"二律背反"为逻辑起点洞穿了启蒙理性统治权力的狂妄,以否定的辩证法进一步揭露了启蒙理性的抽象的同一性原则所依傍的形而上学统治权力的秘密,最终用现代主义艺术当作拯救手段来对抗高度发达的工具理性对人的异化。而现代主义艺术由于包含了现代艺术的内在基础及其"反艺术"的成分,因而这条悲壮的救赎之路自然终结了现代主义及其自身。

Modern society,impregnably alienated,imprisons firmly modern men in it like an ＂iron cage＂.In such a ＂hopeless＂ society,art can solve suffering and evil in its own way.Adorno,on the peak of modernism,revealed the ambition of the Enlightenment rationalism based on negative dialectic logic.He also revealed the secret of the power of metaphysics which the abstract identity principles of metaphysics depends on.Finally,he uses modern art to save the people alienated by the rational instrument.However,since modern art includes its innate base and ＂anti-art＂ element,the rescue lead the modern art to an end.
