心身之间:杜威经验论身心整体观的生态内涵和美学意义

Between Soul and Body: On the Ecological Connotation and Aesthetic Meaning of John Dewey's Empiricist Integrity of Body and Soul

杜威对哲学中的心物区分论的批判也体现在他的经验论美学中,他从心灵和自然界的连续性揭示心灵与身体的整体关联,论述了心灵对于身体存在的内在性和超越性特征,从而揭示了心身互动共融的生态整体性。经验本来就是作为"活的生物"的人与环境交互作用中身心结合的产物,而审美经验和艺术更是心身互动融合的生命状态的最充分而生动的表现。认识心身互动共生的生态整体性对于美学理论的生态化调整,包括身体美学理论的建构,具有深刻而重要的意义。

John Dewey＇s criticism on the dualism of mind and matter can also be seen in his empiricism. He exposes the integrated connection between mind and matter via the continuity of mind and nature. He not only clarifies the ecological integriy but also sets forth the immanence and the transcedence of mind. Experi- ence is the interaction of living creature and circumanstance, and aesthetic experience and art are the most vivid display of that interaction and integrity. To understand the eclogical integrity of the interactive co-exsis- tence of body and soul is of great significance for the ecological adjustment in aesthetic theory, including the construction of body aesthetics.
