什么是自然审美的合适对象?——论约翰·萨利斯的自然美学

What Is the Appropriate Object of Nature Appreciation?——On the Nature Aesthetics of John Sallis

自然审美的对象问题是当今自然美学的核心问题。自然审美的对象问题其实也就是关于什么是自然本身的问题,萨利斯的现象学思想为解决这个问题提供了新的思路。在萨利斯眼中,自然也就是元素(elemental)的自然,元素既不是脱离人的单纯的客体,也不是人的主观的心理活动的产物。自然审美的合适对象也就是作为元素的自然,自然审美和艺术审美是相通的,因为真正的艺术品和真正的自然一样,都不是人类活动的产物,而是元素的显现。

The object of nature appreciation is the core question of Nature Aesthetics.The question of the object of nature appreciation is the question of what is the nature itself,Salliss thought of phenomenology provides a new vision to this question.Sallis states that nature itself is the elemental nature.The elemental is not the pure object separated from the human,nor is the product of humans subjective and psychological activities.The appropriate object of nature appreciation is the elemental nature,and the nature appreciation and the art appreciation are interlinked because the real art and the real nature are not the product of human activities but the manifest of the elementals.
