道德境界的审美化——理学美学新探

Advanced On Neo-confucianism Aesthetics Thought

宋明理学具有道德论与宇宙观相结合的特征,它的"仁者与天地万物为一体"的道德境界其实也是一种审美境界,理学的"乐"范畴则标志着对这种本体境界的感受与体认,标志着理学道德境界审美化的理论完成,理学的文艺美学思想则明显具有以理抑情的特征。宋明理学把道德境界审美化,使"境界"由艺术而走向了人生与生活,这或许才是理学美学对中国美学的贡献所在。

The ethics is made to go to aesthetics. So the mood begins to go into people＇ s life. And it may be the contribution to Chinese aesthetics by the neo-confucianism aesthetics.
