美学视阈下的悲剧理论

Tragedy Theories in the Perspective of Aesthetics

在西方美学史上,柏拉图所代表的唯心主义倾向和亚里士多德所代表的唯物主义倾向的古典主义成为西方美学思想对立发展的两条路线。从美学的角度出发,根据对悲剧形式和功用的不同侧重,把悲剧理论分为侧重形式的古典主义悲剧、侧重功用的经验主义悲剧以及兼顾形式功用的现代悲剧。在对悲剧理论的回顾与总结中,对悲剧理论的建构性以及美学趣味的历史性进行梳理。

In the history of western aesthetics,Plato and Aristotle paved two different paths in the development of tragedy theory.This paper categorizes tragedy theories as the following three：classicism which focuses on the tragic form,empiricism which focuses on its function,and modern tragedy which gives consideration to both form and function.In retrospection and summarization of tragedy theories,the constructive nature of tragedy theories and the historicity of aesthetic tastes are to be examined.
