蒋孔阳的形象思维论

Jiang Kongyang's Theory of Image Thinking

蒋孔阳认为西方的形象思维理论有一个发生、发展、完善的过程;形象思维是一种平行于逻辑思维的思维方式;文艺反映现实的特点不在于内容而在于方法;形象思维和逻辑思维不能互相代替,它们互相辅助,但在文艺创作中,形象思维起着主导性作用;艺术形象不仅要表达认识,还要表达情感,它应该具有健康而朴实的人情味;“形象思维”概念既符合马克思主义的一般认识论,也揭示了文艺创作的特殊规律。蒋孔阳的形象思维论是在两次大讨论中形成的系统看法,他捍卫文艺发展的客观规律,严守学术准则,结合中国文学实际来讨论问题,并将外来文艺理论中国化,具有重要意义。

Jiang Kongyang believes that the western image thinking theory has a process of occurrence,development and improvement;image thinking is a way of thinking parallel to logical thinking;the characteristics of literature and art reflecting reality are not content but method;image thinking and logical thinking cannot replace each other,they complement each other,and in literary and artistic creation,image thinking plays a leading role;artistic images not only express knowledge,but also emotion,it should reflect a healthy and simple human feeling;the concept of "image thinking"is consistent with Marxist general epistemology,and reveals the special laws of literary and artistic creation. Jiang Kongyang’s theory of image thinking is a systematic view formed in two major discussions. He defends the objective laws of the development of literature and art,strictly abides by academic standards,discusses issues in combination with the reality of Chinese literature,and combines foreign literature and art theories with Chinese traditions. These are of great significance.
