人生体验与生命安顿——现代新儒家的美学精神

Life Experience and Settling down:The Aesthetics Spirit of Contemporary Neo-Confucianism

20世纪中国美学发展的基调,主要表现为中国美学家们从现实的生存体验和个体感性生命的视角去思考美学问题,这种立足现实生存的美学理论在人生体验、生活改造和生命安顿这几个层面都取得了丰硕的成果,尤以现代新儒家在这方面的成就最为引人注目。现代新儒家美学源于地理疏离、情感疏离和文化疏离;作为体验之学,审美是对人生意义普遍性的发现;作为生命安顿,审美是对工具主义方法论的超越;由"感"而"信"则彰显了儒学的超越向度。现代新儒家以审美来重塑中国人的生活品格和精神世界,体现了现代中国美学精神的价值旨趣。

It is the main theme of the development of Chinese Aesthetics from the perspective of life experience and settling down in 20 thcentury. Contemporary Neo-Confucianists have achieved abundant accomplishment in this field. Their aesthetic theory originates from the diaspora of geography,emotion and culture.

It shows the transcendence of Confucianism from the affective communion to faith. The Neo-Confucianists tried to reshape the life taste and spiritual world of Chinese by their Aesthetics,which also embodied the value of modern Chinese aesthetics spirit.
