“纯美”的追求——从《美育》杂志看李金发美育思想

The Pursuit of “Pure Beauty”: On Li Jinfa’s Thought of Aesthetic Education in Aesthetic Education

与早期中华美育会集体创办的刊物《美育》杂志不同,李金发创办的《美育》杂志个人色彩比较浓厚,体现着对"纯美"的艺术追求。总体来看李金发在美育理论上分别受到居友"生命美学"和蔡元培"以美育代宗教"的影响,将美育的非功利性和普遍性联系起来,并将艺术植根于主观情感的需要,强调了艺术教育对于民众生活的重要性,肯定了艺术教育对于陶冶情感、代替宗教的地位的作用,并肯定了艺术教育与科学教育、艺术教育和民主的深层联系。李金发关于艺术教育的基本理念是从艺术的纯粹性出发,与五四时期将美育功利化不同,李金发提倡的美育由艺术出发并归于艺术。

Quite different from the early publication of Aesthetic Education sponsored by the Chinese National Art Education Association, Li Jinfa's Aesthetic Education was characterized by his strong artistic pursuit of "pure beauty". Generally speaking, Li Jinfa was influenced by "life aesthetics" of Jean-Marie Guyan and Cai Yuanpei's "the substitution of aesthetic education for religion" respectively in aesthetic education theory. He linked up the non-utility and universality of aesthetic education and rooted art in the need of subjective emotion. In addition, he emphasized the importance of art education to people's life and affirmed the role of art education in cultivating emotion and substituting religion as well as the deep links between art education and science education, art education and democracy. In fact, Li Jinfa's basic idea of art education was based on the purity of art, which was different from utilitarianism of aesthetic education in the May 4th period. The aesthetic education advocated by Li Jinfa is believed to start from art and end in art.
