“观看”与“倾听”:西方的两种深层审美范式

“Viewing”and“Listening”:Two Kinds of Deeper Aesthetic Paradigms in Western Culture

在西方文化中,视觉能力和观看行为在对理性认知和审美观照方面被认为具有超越其他感官的优越性。然而"观看"的审美范式表现出来的是以二元对立为基础、具有等级制特征的思维模式,在很大程度上成为了对个性、差异性、多样性的压抑与专制。相反,通过"倾听"的审美范式,人能够领悟存在的真理,即世界是一个包容与接纳万有的整全,物质与精神、自然性与神圣性彼此交融地存在着。

In Western culture, visual power and viewing behavior are considered superior to other sense organs.But aesthetic paradigm of ＂viewing＂ shows the thinking model based on duality-opposition and has the characteristics of graded system, and then to a great degree becomes constraining and autocrat- ic to individuality,difference and variety.On the contrary, from aesthetic paradigm of ＂listening＂, peo- ple can grasp truth of ＂being＂ that the world is the whole which contains and adopts universal, and then matter and spirit,naturality and holiness which are blending with each other.
