从怀特海看宗白华美学的世界性品格

On the World Character of Zong Bai- hua's Aesthetics from the View of Whitehead

在1920年代中国哲学与怀特海的第一次握手中,宗白华与怀特海的有机哲学邂逅。比较他们的哲学和美学思想,可以看到,两者都肯定美与审美源于自然,"美"是自然之"真";都认同世界生成过程中的创造性活力;都重视形式的有机性质和创生能力,都高度重视作为宇宙生命最深奥秘的节奏与美和艺术的内在联系。对于宗白华的美学思想,学术界往往从"中华性"的角度加以审视和关注。但通过以上几个重要方面同怀特海哲学的美学内涵进行对照,可以清楚地看到,无论是其有机宇宙论的哲学观念还是具体的美学思想,都既是中华的,又具有"世界美学"意义。

In the 1920s Whitehead＇s philosophy was introduced into China. Compared with them, we can see that both of Zong Bai - hua and Whitehead think that aesthetics comes from nature; there is creative vitality in the process of world generation; the organic nature and creative forms are valued; the inner connection between rhythm of the deepest mysteries in the universe, aesthetics and arts are emphasized, so it can be said that Zong Bai -hua＇s aesthetical thought goes beyond China and has significance in the world.
