青年问题与中国现代美学的理论建构——以朱光潜美学思想为中心的考察

Youth Issues and Theoretical Construction of Modern Chinese Aesthetics——An Investigation Centered on Zhu Guangqian’s Aesthetic Thoughts

青年群体随着中国现代化的进程而产生、发展和壮大,致使青年问题成为中国现代美学最关键的问题意识之一。青年问题的变化是朱光潜美学思想重心转移的契机。针对青年的“烦闷”,朱氏提出了以“人生艺术化”为代表的“审美超脱”论;针对青年的“消沉”,朱氏提出了以“尽性”为代表的“审美解放”说。青年问题影响了朱光潜对艺术功能的理解,对美之本质的认知,对西方理论的改造与融合,以及对于传统思想的现代诠释,形塑了朱氏美学的理论形态。

Youth groups have emerged and developed along with the process of China’s modernization,which has made the youth issue one of the most critical issues of modern aesthetics in China.The change in youth issues is the reason for the shift of Zhu Guangqian’s aesthetic thinking.In response to the“trouble”of young people,Zhu put forward the“aesthetic detachment”theory represented by the“art of life”;in response to the“depression”of youth,Zhu put forward the“esthetic liberation”represented by“exhaustion”.Youth issues affected Zhu Guangqian’s understanding of artistic functions,his understanding of the essence of beauty,the transformation and integration of western theories,and the modern interpretation of traditional ideas,which shaped the theoretical form of Zhu’s aesthetics.
