论休闲的人文内涵与价值

Cultural Implications and Value of Leisure

以实证为基础的休闲学研究,由于对自由时间的机械界定,导致其容易偏离休闲活动的个体性特征。从字源意义上看,休闲首先是表现为某种具体的活动或状态体验,而非时间。因此在文化的意义上,休闲学研究应当开始于对休闲个体的具体观察。从处于休闲活动、状态中的个体意识特征的角度而言,休是"知己",闲是"味己"。休闲的实质,就是对个体生命特征与意义的认知和关注。个体通过健康、个性化的休闲活动,获得对生命的审美体验,也从而促进了人类社会的多元化进步。

An empirical study of leisure tends to deviate from its individual uniqueness because of the rigid definition of leisure. Etymologically, leisure refers first of all to a specific leisure activity or experience rather than free time. So in the cultural sense, a leisure study ＇should begin with observation of the individuals at leisure, who are trying to know oneself and enjoy oneself in ones own perspective. The essence of leisure is the cognition and attention to characteristics and cultural implications of individual life. Leisure helps obtain the aesthetical experience in the healthy leisurely activities and improve the dynamics of multiple human civilizations.
