科学、艺术与道德的悖论——对卢梭自然人观点的再思考

The Paradox of Science and Art with Morality:Rethinking of Rousseau's Idea of Natural Person

卢梭的自然人观点提示了科学、艺术与道德的悖论,并希望通过构建以道德为基础的社会契约解决二者的矛盾。卢梭的话题,科学与艺术的进步将造成道德的沉沦,后被康德的美是德性-善的象征所否定;而其自然人观点中对人类历史发展的思考,预示出了黑格尔的历史辩证法。

Rousseau＇ s idea of natural person proclaims the paradox of science and art with morality. He hoped that the problem would be solved by the reconstruction of social contract based on moral laws. Rousseau＇ s proposition that the improvements of science and art will cause the degradation of morality is negated by Kant who held that the beautiful is the symbol of the morally good, while his ideas on human＇ s historical development indicates Hegel＇ s historical dialectics.
