抽象的哲学与艺术的本质——作为艺术形态的抽象艺术导引

Abstract philosophy and the essence of art: abstract art guide is an art form

抽象艺术并不是艺术分类学上的类型概念。抽象艺术(具象艺术)是艺术的基本三大艺术形态之一。长期以来,我们一直认为形象思维就是艺术思维,这是我们对人类意识/思维认知的最大误判。其实,形象思维是人类最基本的思维形态,其包括了具象思维与抽象思维两大基本类型,其余的动作思维、蒙太奇思维、戏剧思维等,都是在具象思维和抽象思维基础上再分类的结果。而抽象思维的终极哲学意义如巴门尼德所说,人不能思考不存在的事物,也即作为高智慧生物,人类只能依赖自身的感官,接受并思考在感官能接受基础上的事物。但抽象的意义却在于,从抽象到抽象思维、再到抽象艺术,它打开了人类思维的这扇“未来之门”,并在本土性的基础上展开多样性的可能。人类是物种进化的结果。随着科技的变革,人类还在进化。人类在抽象艺术上的巨大变革,就是我们思维进化明显一例。

It is necessary to clarify that abstract art is not a type concept in art taxonomy. Rather,it is one of the three basic art forms. We have long believed that image thinking is artistic thinking,which is the most serious misjudgment of human consciousness/thinking cognition. In fact,image thinking is the basic thinking form of human beings. It includes two basic types: figurative thinking and abstract thinking,which are classified into more categories such as montage thinking and dramatic thinking. Parmenides,who was called the real father of Western philosophy by Hegel,was quoted as saying that people cannot think about things that do not exist,that is,as a highly intelligent creature,human beings can only rely on their senses to think over and accept what their senses accept. But the significance of abstraction lies in that,the process of abstraction,abstract thinking and abstract art “opens ” the “door ” to human thinking,and increases the possibility of diversity on the basis of locality. Humans are the result of evolution and are evolving with the change of technology. The revolutionary achievement in abstract art is a striking example of the evolution of our thinking.
