人之为人:美育学价值论

On the Humanist Value of Aesthetic Education

美育学的本体论研究,为我们重新把握美育研究的学科定位与理论价值奠定了基础,也为当代中国的美育学建设,提供了一条独特的思想路径。但与坐而论道的审美形而上学不同,作为其重要支脉的美育学毕竟侧重于实践,真正能体现其学科价值的,在于审美教育在我们日常生活中所起的作用。因此,对美育学研究的本体论探讨是不够的,除此之外我们还需要从一个新的角度对问题展开讨论,这就是"美育学价值论"的提出。它能从"君子之乐"方面,深化我们对"君子之道"和"君子之教"的理解与认识。

Although the ontological study of aesthetic education provides a unique thinking path for re-delimiting the academ-ic position and theoretic value of aesthetic research and the construction of aesthetic education in contemporary China, aes-thetic education as an important branch of aesthetics which is highly metaphysical puts emphasis on practice and its value is best seen in its effect on everyday life. Seen in this light, the ontological study of aesthetic education is still inadequate. We need to pursue our discussion from a fresh perspective. From this need arises the proposition of ＂the value of aesthetic edu-cation＂, a proposition that can deepen our understanding of ＂the way of the true man＂ and ＂the education of the true man＂ from the perspective of ＂the pleasures of the true man＂.
