阿瑟·丹托艺术哲学的主要困境及其解决方案

Main Difficulties of Arthur Danto's Philosophy of Art and His Solutions

从约翰.凯里对阿瑟.丹托的指责中,可以揭示出丹托艺术哲学内在矛盾所折射出来的当代伦理政治问题。尽管康德对审美问题作了细致的哲学论证,但他对美与善整体关系的强调并没有被丹托所采纳,凯里由此批评丹托的逻辑不彻底。丹托将格林伯格类比成批评独裁者,这是一种简单的想象,缺乏理论说服力,他坚持这样做的理由仍然在于其政治哲学理想,即把平等价值置于最高位置。丹托宣布艺术终结的目的其实在于对当代人类社会进行情感治疗。

Arthur Danto is famous for his theory of the End of Art, and meanwhile the dispute aroused from it hasn＇t stopped ever since the 1980s along with post-modernism receiving its criticism. Domestic researchers have discussed those precisely. This paper attempts to reveal some contemporary ethical and political problems which are reflected from the internal contradiction of Danto＇s philosophy of art, by quoting John Carey＇s criticism： 1 ） Danto does not adopt Kant＇s proposition in the whole relation between beauty and good, although Kant demonstrated the problem of taste at great length. As a result, this issue focuses on his logical incompleteness that has been pointed out by Carey. 2） the analogy between Greenberg and dictator of critical theory is obviously lack of evidence, but Danto＇s persistence displays the anticipation of his political philosophy, which puts equality first. 3） Danto actually emphasizes the emotional treatment of the contemporary society when he declares the End of Art.
