作为修养美学的手工艺及其当代意义

Handicraft as a Self-cultivation Aesthetics and Its Contemporary Significance

人工智能时代人类遭遇了日益严重的身心分离,面临着手的退化危机,乃至心智退化的危机。这种身心危机凸显了手工艺具有的修养美学价值,以手工艺为途径能够在一定程度上对此危机进行疗救。本文以存在论、身体认知论为基础论述手工艺的修养美学价值。存在论揭示了手工在人类存在中的本源性地位,身体认知解释了手工在人的心智活动中的意义,由此奠定了手工艺能够成为通向审美存在的有效途径,手工艺具有修养美学的价值。手工艺作为修养美学的意义在于,通过手工制作使得身心得以合一,从而增进身心健康,通过其中的美感来愉悦精神,提高生活质量。

In the era of artificial intelligence,human beings are not only increasingly separated from body and mind,but they are also facing a crisis of decline in their hands-on ability and intelligence.This kind of physical and mental crisis highlights the aesthetic value of handicrafts,which can be cured to a certain extent by means of handicrafts.This article discusses the aesthetic value of craftsmanship from two aspects:ontology and body cognition.On the one hand,the ontology reveals the original position of handwork in human existence;on the other hand,physical cognition explains the meaning of handwork in human psychological activities and establishes that handicraft can be an effective way to understand aesthetic existence and has the value of self-cultivation aesthetics.In short,the significance of handicrafts as self-cultivation aesthetics is to achieve the integration of body and mind through handicrafts,so as to enhance physical and mental health through its beauty,delight the spirit,and improve the quality of life.
