论审美的中介作用

The Intermediary Function of Aes thetic Factors

关于审美与艺术的关系 ,中外美学史上历来存在政教中心论与审美中心论之争。但两者都没有给审美找到在艺术中的正确位置。确立审美在艺术中的地位的两条途径是 :其一 ,为了包容不是以“美”为主要描写对象的各种现代艺术 ,应该把“美的艺术”扩大到“审美的艺术” ,但“美的艺术”仍是艺术的主流。其二 ,为了纠正审美中心论忽视审美与艺术中的其他因素以及审美与艺术之外的其他社会因素的联系这一理论错误 。

There have always been controversies over the relationship between aesthetic factors and art in the history of aesthetics: one arguement holds that political education is the centre of art,while the other holds that aesthetic factor is the centre of art. But the two theoris are one-sided,and neither of them has fixed the correct position of aesthetic factors in art. The two ways which can fix the position of aesthetic factors in art are as follows: Firstly, the concept of beautiful art must be extended to the concept of aesthetic art in order to tolerate various modern arts which do not regard beauty as main object of description.But the beautiful art is still the principal aspect of art. Secondly, the theory that regards aesthetic factors as the centre of art should be replaced by the theory that takes aesthetic factors as the medium of art in order to correct the mistakes of the former, which neglects the connection between aesthetic factors and other factors in art and the connection between aesthetic factors and other social factors beyond art.
