科学公理、感性经验与知识层理化——“科玄论战”中的美学问题

Scientific Axioms,Perceptual Experience and Differentiation of Knowledge: The Aesthetic Issues in the " Controversy between Science and Metaphysics"

近现代科学主义思潮具有知识、认识论与伦理道德等价值范畴的一体性,它的发展以及对它的质疑催生了"科玄论战"。在论争过程中,基于感性经验的美学范畴被与科学范畴相区别,美学知识体系内部的美、美学等概念也被加以区分,这可以被视作一个"知识层理化"的过程,是现代性生成背景下知识分化与转型的重要体现。而在形式层面,貌似学术讨论的论战文本事实上呈现出基于感性经验的修辞特征与俗化的美学风格,"论理"过程本身其实是"乏理"的,这也是考察"科玄论战"中美学问题的一个视角。

Scientism in modern China is characterized by the fusion of knowledge, epistemology and value categories exem-plified by ethics and morality, and its development, as well as the queries about it, gave birth to the＂Controversy between Science and Metaphysics＂in 1923.During the debate, the aesthetic categories based on perceptual experience were differen-tiated from the scientific ones, and the concepts belonging to the aesthetic knowledge system such as beauty and aesthetics were also distinguished from each other.This process of knowledge differentiation can be seen as an important modern trans-formation against the background of the emergence of modernity.As for the form of text, the articles in the controversy made use of meaningful rhetoric intertwined with perceptual experience and laymen＇s style, even though they seemed to be academic and scholastic.
