毕达哥拉斯数学美学观的阐释及对后世美学观的影响

The Explanation of Pythagorean Mathematical Aesthetics and Its Influence on Later Mathematical Aesthetics

毕达哥拉斯及学派创立的数学美学思想在西方美学史上占据着重要的地位,对后世也产生了深远而广泛的影响。“美是和谐”是毕达哥拉斯最重要的数学美学观之一,这一数学美学观两千多年来得到了后人的继承与发展。从中西文化比较的视角来讲,中国传统文化基本上也是强调“美是和谐”和“圆或球体是最美的图形”的美学观,这就彰显出中西文化在数学美学上的相通性。

The mathematical aesthetics founded by Pythagoras and the Pythagorean school held an important position in the history of Western Aesthetics and had a profound and widespread impact on later generations.“Beauty is harmony”is one of Pythagorean’s most important mathematical aesthetics,which has been inherited and developed by later generations for over two thousand years.From the perspective of comparing Chinese and Western cultures,traditional Chinese culture basically emphasizes the mathematical aesthetics of“beauty is harmony”and“circles or spheres are the most beautiful shapes”,which highlights the similarity between Chinese and Western cultures in mathematical aesthetics.
