“簇概念”:作为艺术理论的价值体现

"Cluster Concept":A Manifestation of the Values as An Art Theory

贝伊斯·高特作为反本质主义的代表人物,延续了维特根斯坦的“家族相似说”和莫里斯·韦茨的“艺术不可定义”理论,以“簇概念”来界定艺术。其理论主张开放地看待构成艺术的“内在属性”,使用析取性形式规范艺术,走出艺术复杂而难以界定的困境,以解决艺术定义的问题。“簇概念”作为一种艺术理论范式,为艺术的界定提供了新的思路和方法,因而具有一定的合理性及价值意义。

As the representative of anti-essentialism,Berys Gaut inherits and extends Wittgenstein's theory of"family resemblance"and Morris Weitz's theory of"indefinability of art",trying to define art in"cluster concept".His theory advocates that the"intrinsic attributes"of art shall be viewed in an open manner,and art shall be regulated by disjunctive forms,so that a definition of art can be ultimately worked out.As a theoretical paradigm of art,"cluster concept"provides new ideas and methods for the definition of art,so it has certain rationality and value significance.
