体知与审美教育

Embodiment and Aesthetic Education

杜维明先生于1985年提出"体知"概念,以诠释不同于主体与客体、道德与知识两分的现代知识论的中国传统认知途径。个体的审美无疑是一种身心感知的过程,单单靠逻辑分析与现象描述并不能完成美感之体验与境界之升华,这就需要"体知"与语言之结合,亦可以说是冯友兰先生所说的"正的方法"与"负的方法"的结合。将体知应用于审美教育,能使个体在实践过程中实现对二元关系之超越,真正在实践中实现审美教育,从而提高大众审美教育的质量,予人们发现美的眼睛与感受美的心,在生活如此喧嚷浮躁的今天,给人们以心灵的憩息所。

Mr. Du Weiming put forward the concept of Embodiment in 1985 to explain the traditional cognitive approach. Personal aesthetic appreciation is a process of bodily experience, and logical analysis and description of phenomena cannot upgrade aesthetic experience. Thus bodily experience together with language is needed. The use of bodily experience in aesthetic education is helpful to enhancing the quality of aesthetic education among the masses.
