“如何活”难题的审美纾解

An Aesthetic Alternative to the How-to-live Concern

在其主体性实践哲学中,李泽厚对“如何活”难题深表关切,于是将人性能力的充分发展当作纾解这一难题的选择方案。人性能力作为人性的至要决定因素,基于文化心理结构,涉及认知、道德与审美三个维度。人性能力的提升,有赖于四重性审美参融,取决于以美启真、以美储善、以美立命与以度创美这四种动态关联行为。人性能力的充分发展,自当成就人类主体性,助推人性的完满实现,上达人之成人所能取得的最高成就。

As regards the how-to-live concern in his practical philosophy of subjectality, Li Zehou takes the full-fledged development of human capacity as an alternative to address the issue. Being the most crucial determinant of human nature, human capacity is based on the cultural-psychological formation comprising such three dimensions as the cognitive, moral and aesthetic. The escalation of human capacity lies in an aesthetic engagement based on the acts of illuminating the true, furnishing the good, and making life worth living through the beautiful. Such engagement becomes fourfold when it comes to creating the beautiful according to the proper measure. It is at this stage that the whole becoming of human as human is assumed to be attainable in light of human subjectality as the acme of human capacity and the ultimate outcome of human fulfillment.
