文艺心理学之传承与未来展望

Inheritance and Prospect of Psychology of Literature and Art

文艺心理学独立成为一门学科前,经历了由明至清、由清至民国两次重要转变。明代至清代期间,文艺心理的探讨仍停留在传统的探索模式。那时的论述多为随笔式的杂评。清中叶,西学东渐成为了文艺心理研究发展的催化剂。学者们多引用西方概念,打破了多年的传统主题。民国初期,文艺心理的探讨终发展为一门独立的学问,有了明确的研究课题和研究方法。文艺心理学之所以能够有着迅速的发展,当中有三个重要的因素:渐趋清晰的学科定位、与时并进的开放态度以及研究方法的进益。

Psychology of literature and art has become an independent discipline after undergoing two major transitions: from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. During the period from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the exploration of the psychology of literature and art still maintained the traditional mode, and arguments were mostly varied comments in the form of an informal essay. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the eastward transmission of western sciences had become a catalyst for research and development in the psychology of literature and art. Scholars then had tended to use the concepts from the West, and broken up the traditional themes which reigned for many years. At the early Republic of China, the discussion on the psychology of literature and art had developed into an independent school, acquiring definite research topics and methods. The rapid development of the psychology of literature and art is due to three reasons: the clear orientation of the discipline, the open attitude of keeping abreast with the times, and the progress in research methods.
