论蒋孔阳的音乐美学思想

Jiang Kongyang's Aesthetic Thought on Music

在蒋孔阳看来,音乐美学思想不是美学家给音乐规定的法则,先秦音乐美学思想不是先秦乐官的音乐理论,而是诸子百家关于音乐的看法和想法,是诸子百家政治和哲学思想的组成部分。蒋孔阳的《先秦音乐美学论稿》立足实证考究音乐的社会生成和社会功能,论述“省风”“宣气”,孔子“正乐”和墨子“非乐”,贯穿着一种虚怀若谷的人文意志。这是蒋孔阳音乐美学思想的一个重要标志,也是蒋孔阳美学思想体系的鲜明特点。

Jiang Kongyang has the idea that the thought of music aesthetics is not the basic principles imposed upon music by arrogant aestheticians.As far as the music aesthetics in pre-Qin period is concerned,it was not the music theories of pre-Qin officers,but the ideas of the different scholars and schools then.Jiang's Treatises on Pre-Qin Music Aesthetics explores empirically the social generation and social function of music,and expounds the concepts as“folk exam”“catharsis”Confucius'“musical justification”and Mozi's“musical objection”.What runs through Jiang's discussion on pre-Qin music aesthetics is a strong humanism which becomes an important symbol and distinction of his music aesthetics.
