审美与伦理:从前现代到后现代

Aesthetic and Ethic:from Pre-modern to Post-modern

审美与伦理的互动,并非仅仅是审美、美学的问题,也并非仅仅是审美与伦理、美学与伦理学的关系问题,归根结底是人类如何生存、人类自我如何建构的问题。审美与伦理在前现代、现代和后现代的不同语境下,呈现出统一于实存领域、分化以及统一于虚拟领域等复杂的变动情况。三种不同的互动关系都存在着各自的问题,重新统一于实存领域也许是审美和伦理克服各自的困境、人类走出后现代困境的一条可能的路径。

The interaction between aesthetic and ethic is not an aesthetic problem or a problem of aesthetics. Neither is it an issue concerning the relationship between aesthetic and ethic, or between aesthetics and ethics. It is basically an issue concerning how human being will continue to survive and construct the Self of his. In pre-modern, modern and post-modern contexts, aesthetic and ethic manifest themselves respectively as unified in physical world, differentiated from each other and unified in virtuous world. One possible way for human being to walk out of the plight of the post-modern era is to unify aesthetic and ethic in physical world again.
