蔡元培“美育”概念原型考——兼论与井上圆了美育观之关系

Examining the Origin of Cai Yuanpei's Concept"Aesthetic Education":also on its Relationship with Inoue Enryo's View of Aesthetic Education

比对蔡元培的《哲学总论》(1901)与井上圆了的《佛教活论本论第二篇显正活论》(1890)可发现,蔡元培首提“美育”概念译自井上圆了《显正活论》第44节中的日文“美育”一词。在此基础上,本文分析了井上圆了的美育观与基于“实验”的“心理学”的关系,继而从“心理学”的角度论证了受井上圆了的美育观影响而形成的蔡元培首提“美育”概念的内涵。

A comparison of the Introduction to Philosophy(1901)by Cai Yuanpei and"Genjou-katsuron",Chapter Two of the Prolegomena to a Living Discourse on Buddhism(1890)by Inoue Enryo makes it clear that the concept"aesthetic education"first put forward by Cai Yuanpei was translated from Japanese"美育"in Section 44 of"Genjou-katsuron"written by Inoue Enryo.On this basis,this article analyzes the relationship between Inoue's view of aesthetic education and"experiment"-based"psychology",and discusses,from the perspective of"psychology",the connotation of the concept"aesthetic education"first put forward by Cai Yuanpei,which was influenced by Inoue's aesthetic education view.
