在东西文化间共建“全球生活美学”

Between Eastern and Western Cultures to Build a Global Life Aesthetics

目前,"生活美学"已经成为了全球的最新美学思潮,国际美学界在拓展美学疆域的基本路数上是一致的。德国美学家沃尔夫冈·韦尔施所做的工作是呼吁美学回到日常生活,并将这种美学称之为"超越美学的美学",也就是超逾"以艺术为中心"的美学。在波兰举办的第18届世界美学大会上,当韦尔施重提"超越美学的美学"话题之时,却得到了美国环境美学家阿诺德·伯林特的反驳,但伯林特要求美学走向环境与韦尔施主张美学回到生活其实是殊途同归的。然而,生活美学并不像艺术哲学和环境美学那样是由西方美学家提出并占据了主导的美学思潮。东西方美学家几乎共时性地提出了"生活美学"的理念,而且,中国美学传统自本生根地就是"生活美学"传统。刘悦笛邀请国际美学协会前任主席柯提斯·卡特主编的《生活美学:东方与西方》英文文集,就致力于在全球范围之内、在东西互动之间来共同推动生活美学的进展。刘悦笛指出生活美学是东西方异曲同工创造出来的,它有着东西方两种哲思资源,但也面临着挑战,需要加以积极应对。赵强进而指出,晚明时期生活美学的要义就在于以"受用清福"为旨归的生活观念的生成,以营构艺术化、优雅化的日常生活情境、增进世俗日常生活的快乐为旨趣。

Currently,"Life Aesthetics"has become the world's newest aesthetic ideas,the basic way of international aesthetic academia to expand the boundaries of aesthetics is the same.Wolfgang Welsch,a German esthetician,appeals that aesthetic back to daily life,and calls his aesthetics beyond aesthetics,which means beyond the "arts center". At the 18 th World Aesthetics Assembly in Poland,when Welsch repeated his topic aesthetics beyond aesthetics,he met Arnold Berleant,the US environmental esthetician,who said no to him. But in fact,Berleant's requirement of that aesthetics towards the environment and Welsch's proposition of that aesthetics back to life are actually the same thing.However,Life Aesthetics is not like philosophy of art or environmental aesthetics,which was presented by Western aestheticians and became the dominant aesthetic thoughts. East—West esthetician almost simultaneously proposed the "life aesthetic"concept,and traditional Chinese aesthetics is "Life Aesthetics"in root. Liu Yuedi invited Curtis Carter,the former president of International Aesthetics Association,to edit the English corpus,Life Aesthetics: East and West,committed to promote the progress of life aesthetics on a global scale,through the interaction between the east and west. Liu Yuedi pointed out that life aesthetic was jointly proposed by East and West,it has two kinds of philosophizing resources of East and West,but also facing challenges that need positive response. Zhao Qiang further pointed out that as to the life aesthetic of the late Ming period,the key was the formation of the life idea of that to enjoy the happiness,to build artistic,elegant life situations,to enhance mundane daily life happiness.
