美育视域下社会美的起源探究——基于社会生物学的视角

Enlightenment of Aesthetic Education on the Origin of Social Beauty——From the Perspective of Sociobiology

文章从社会生物学的角度对社会美的起源进行探讨,认为社会美产生的生物基础是镜像神经元等脑组织。镜像神经元是共情能力产生的前提,共情能力是社会美产生的道德基石。生物基因与文化基因协同进化,利他行为作为一种社会美的文化基因,是人类社会进化的选择结果。这种探讨给美育工作的启示主要有:美育的目标需要发挥实际效用,是服务于社会发展的;社会美需要正确的国家观、科学的历史观、开放的文化观。
