重返西方艺术学的“技艺”之维——评孙晓霞《柏拉图的艺术学遗产》

Returning to the dimension of“technique”in Western art studies——Review of Sun Xiaoxia's The Artistic Legacy of Plato

孙晓霞教授的学术专著《柏拉图的艺术学遗产》,以“技艺”作为基点,在厘清“技艺”的面向和阐发其知识特性的基础上,通过返回到柏拉图“剧场政制”的历史现场,聚焦柏拉图基于构筑理想城邦信念下的技艺理论与诸门艺术的关系论说,勾勒出了柏拉图艺术思想的系统图景,校准了艺术在各时期知识体系中的历史坐标,揭橥了诸门艺术内聚的思想因子与西方现代艺术体系生成的原动力。通过发掘柏拉图的艺术学遗产,为我们打开了理解艺术知识体系的理论深入与话语构型的技艺之维,提供了一个重新审视现代艺术体系的重要起点和解除现代艺术体系自身封闭性的蹊径。

Sun Xiaoxia's"Plato's Artistic Heritage"takes"technique"as its base,and on the basis of clarifying the orientation of"technique"and expounding its intellectual characteristics,it returns to the historical scene of Plato's"theatrical system of government"and focuses on Plato's theory of technique and the relationship between the arts based on the belief of constructing an ideal city-state.By returning to the historical scene of Plato's"theater system"and focusing on the relationship between Plato's theory of art and the arts based on his belief in the construction of an ideal city-state,the book outlines a systematic picture of Plato's artistic thought,calibrates the historical coordinates of art in the knowledge systems of various periods,and reveals the ideological factors coalescing in the arts and the driving force behind the creation of the modern Western art system.Through the discovery of Plato's artological heritage,Sun Xiaoxia opens up the theoretical depth and the technical dimension of the discursive configuration of the art knowledge system,providing an important starting point for re-examining the modern art system and a way to unlock its own closedness.
