泰戈尔情味诗学观

On Tagore's Emotion-Centered Aesthetics

泰戈尔诗学观论及艺术的产生、艺术的功能以及艺术创作和外部世界、读者之间的关系等方面,并涉及人格、胃液等重要概念,但都以情味为核心。泰戈尔认为:正是情感的剩余产生了表达的需要,促成了文学的产生;文学创作则是将外部世界融入人的情感,从而形成人格的世界,并选用合适的艺术手段进行表达的过程;伟大的文学作品总是追求普世的情感,从而实现价值的永恒。泰戈尔诗学体现了对印度"味论"诗学传统的传承和对英国浪漫主义"表现论"诗学的借鉴。其诗学传入我国之后,更是对我国作家的文学创作产生了重大影响。

Tagore＇s aesthetics involves exploring the origin and function of art,redefining the correlation of art creation,reality and the reader,and explicating concepts like personality and rasa.All these explorations are centered on human beings＇ emotions.Tagore argues that the surplus of man＇s emotions seeks its outlet in art creation,which involves the transmutation of the outer world into a more intimate world of sentiments and its description with appropriate artistic devices.He also claims that only those literary works manifesting universal emotions can be rated as great and eternal literature.Moreover,Tagore＇s aesthetics benefits from both Indian literary tradition and British romanticism.Since his aesthetics was introduced to China,it has exerted great influence on Chinese writers.
