“形而上美学争鸣”专题主持人语——审美的“复魅”：回到形而上学

EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION

美学需要形而上学，只有从形而上学的角度，才能说明审美活动的特殊性，才能解释审美活动的超越性与理想性。没有形而上学对于理念的设定，对于普遍性的设定，鉴赏判断就不可能产生，因而说审美是形而上学的孩子，只有在形而上学的思维中，才可能产生审美。形而上学的缺位必导致理想的缺乏，艺术因此沉入生活，而审美就沦为快感。只有重新确立审美的形而上学维度，才能够使得审美得以“复魅”。

Only through the perspective of metaphysics can the unique nature of transcendence and idealism of aesthetic activities be explained. Without metaphysics＇ setting of idea and its universality, the appreciation judgment could not be possible. Only in metaphysical thinking is there aesthetics. The absence of metaphysics will certainly result in the lack of ideal, and art will then fall into the mire of life while aesthetic degrades into sensual pleasure. The paper claims that aesthetic will be re - enchanted through re - instating the dimension of metaphysics into aesthetic appreciation.
