审美态度:一个西方美学概念的问题史

Aesthetic Attitude:A Historical Survey of Western Aesthetic Concepts

可以从四个方面界定西方美学中的审美态度:不存在外在于感知行为本身的功利目的;高度注意被感知物的独特性;瞩目于客体的外表而忽视其现实存在;审美客体不是作为符号行驶功能,是不及物的。乔治·迪基破除了审美态度的神话,认为不存在审美态度或审美注意这样的心理范畴,所有假定性的心理活动都可以化约为集中注意。在当代西方学界,随着对审美经验和审美客体的身份问题的重视,审美态度走向终结。

Aesthetic attitude in western aesthetics can be defined from four aspects:no utilitarian purpose outside the perception behavior itself;close attention to the uniqueness of the perceived object;Focus on the appearance of the object while ignoring its real existence;the aesthetic object being intransitive rather than a symbol.Geogre Dickie dispelled the myth of aesthetic attitude,believing that there was no such psychological category as aesthetic attitude or aesthetic attention,and that all hypothetical psychological activities could be reduced to concentrated attention.In the contemporary western academic circle,with the emphasis on the aesthetic experience and the identity of the aesthetic object,the issue of aesthetic attitude comes to an end.
