论生活美学的三大类型及其意义

On the Three Types of Aesthetics of Everyday Life and Its Significance

生活美学作为当今美学研究的热点领域,其类型值得探讨,主要包括理论思辨型、历史经验型和实践应用型。理论思辨型生活美学指的是2005年以来西方学者在生活美学研究中形成的理论资源和学科形态,它高度重视杜威的美学理论,注重探讨日常生活审美经验以及艺术与生活美学的关系,它虽构成对以艺术为中心的西方美学传统范式的挑战与反拨,但并非要颠覆与解构传统美学;历史经验型生活美学是将生活美学历史化和地方化,中国古代生活美学是其代表;实践应用型生活美学即由美学学者建构的指导大众日常生活审美实践的实用美学,它具有生活美育之效并旨在使生活上升为一种艺术。生活美学的三大类型不仅展呈了生活美学的全貌及其特质,而且有助于重思美学的学科特性、搭建中西方美学跨文化对话的平台和促进美学与其他领域的互动交叉,从而为美学的反思与重构提供了可能。

The Aesthetics of Everyday Life（AEL）is a hot spot in today＇s aesthetics research and its types which include theorical type, historical type and application type are worth discussing. Theorical type of AEL refers to the theorical resources and discipline form in western scholars＇ AEL researches since 2005. Theorical type of AEL which challenges and opposes art-centered traditional western aesthetic mode but does not overturns and deconstructs it emphasizes Dewey＇s aesthetics theory and focus on the everyday aesthetic experience and the relationship between art and AEL; historical type of AEL is historization and localization of AEL and its model is classical Chinese AEL; application type of AEL aims to guiding people＇s everyday aesthetic practices by aesthetics scholars and it has the function of everyday aesthetic education and makes living a form of art. The three types of AEL not only demonstrate an overview of AEL and its qualities, but also contribute to rethinking discipline nature of aesthetics, building a cross-cultural dialogue platform between Chinese and western aesthetics and promoting the interaction with aesthetics and other fields, which provide the possibility for the reflection and reconstruction of aesthetics.
