走向生活美学的“生活美育”观——21世纪如何建设中国的新美育

“Aesthetic Education in Life" That Aims for Aesthetics of Life:How to Construct a New Aesthetic Education in 21st century China

21世纪的中国新美育观的建设,一方面要"告别启蒙范式",另一方面要"回归生活世界"。所以说,"生活美育"的目标,就是对"生活艺术家们"的塑成,而人人都是艺术家则是其终极社会理想。"生活美育"既是"生活美学"的逻辑延展与有机构成,也深植于儒家生活美学及道家生活美学传统之中,"六艺之教"就是一种本土化的生活美育传统。这种新美育观不同于旧美育观的新特征就在于,"生活美育"不仅是艺术教育而且是"文化教育",不再是他人教育而是"自我教育",不只是短期教育而是"终身教育"。美育作为生活的准备,这是启蒙主义的观念;美育就是生活,这才是"生活美学"的基本观点,"生活美学"的实现最终要落实到"生活美育"之上。

The construction of a new aesthetic education in 21 s, century China calls for ＂a break with enlightenment models＂ and ＂a return to the world of life＂. Therefore, the aim of ＂aesthetic education in life＂ is to mold ＂artists in life＂ and its ul-timate social ideal is that everybody be an artist. A logical extension and an organic component of ＂aesthetics of life＂, ＂aes- thetic education in life＂ is also rooted in the Confucian and Taoist aesthetics of life, ＂the fostering of the six arts＂ being a n- ative tradition of aesthetic education in life. What distinguishes this new aesthetic education from the old one is that ＂aesthet-ic education in life＂ is not only an art education but also a ＂cultural education＂. It is no longer an education received from other people, but a self-education. It is not a short education but a ＂life-long education＂. That aesthetic education is a prep-aration for life is an enlightenment concept, but that life itself is aesthetic education is a basic view in ＂aesthetics of life＂. The ultimate realization of ＂aesthetics of life＂ is in ＂aesthetic education in life＂.
