自然美学在美学教材中的地位反思

Reflection on the Status of Natural Aesthetics in the Textbook of Aesthetics

传统的美学教材相对集中地关注到艺术美学,把艺术看作是探讨美学各种问题的核心领域甚至唯一领域,自然美学则比较少。自然美学的推进虽然一定程度上改变着这种状况,但并未从根本上改变美学教材中自然美学的地位。这两种美学形态存在着重大的区别,我们应该将自然美学融入审美知觉论、审美体验论、审美形态论和审美教育论等美学基础理论的各个方面,从而构建相对合理的美学教材体系。

Traditional textbooks of aesthetics have consistently attached importance to artistic aesthetics. Art has been considered as the core domain, even the only domain, in nearly all kinds of studies on aesthetics, while natural aesthetics has been long neglected. The situation has been changed by the advance of natural aesthetics, but not fundamentally. There are significant differences between artistic and natural aesthetics. We should integrate natural aesthetics into aesthetical basic theories, including the aesthetic perception, aesthetic experience, aesthetic formation and aesthetic education, to structure a reasonable textbook system comparatively.
