康德对优美与崇高的双重规定及其根据

Immanuel Kant's Investigation into the Beautiful and the Sublime and Its Theoretical Provisions

康德对优美与崇高的理论考察,具体体现在《论优美感和崇高感》和《判断力批判》的理论建构之中。通过实用人类学与批判哲学的考察方式,康德前期与后期美学思想关于优美与崇高概念的规定显示了内在的区别。这种对优美与崇高的不同规定,深刻地表现了基于经验论原则的“价值论规定”与基于先验论原则的“知识论规定”之间的思想差异。康德对优美与崇高的不同规定,揭示了优美与崇高概念既对民族文化生活的审美价值判断具有积极意义,又对美学的纯粹理论建构以及审美关系的探索具有规范意义,因此,他启示美学必须对这两个概念进行持久的理论关注。

Immanuel Kant's theoretical investigation into the beautiful and the sublime is embodied in his theoretical construction of Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime and Critique of Judgment.Through practical anthropology and critical philosophy,the inherent differences in Kant's early and late aesthetic thought on these concepts can be revealed.Such differences profoundly reveal the distinction between axiological provisions based on the empirical principle and epistemological provisions based on the transcendental principle.In this way,Kant reveals that the beautiful and the sublime are not only positive to the judgement of aesthetic value in national cultural life,but also normative to the construction of pure aesthetic theory and the exploration of aesthetic relations.Therefore,according to Kant,enduring theoretical attention to the two concepts is necessary for aesthetics.
