审美维度:美学、政治、知识

Aesthetic Dimension:Aesthetics,Politics,Knowledge

美学意味着一种感性的分配。康德的去功利的审美判断,以理解力与感受力之间等级关系的中立化确立了审美维度的核心,即以一种审美分离为前提的平等的'歧见',由此带来新的感知世界的方式。此乃'美学的政治'。存在两种试图取消审美的政治潜力的伦理模式:其一是以'习性'为基准的社会学批判,其二是以'崇高'为中心的绝对他者原则。'政治的美学'则表现为'民主'政治乃一种'仿佛'的操作,是任何人之共同权力的平等展演。柏拉图式的共识性的'仿佛'导致了以社会分化为前提的伦理秩序的循环,德里达式的异质性的'到来的民主'则排除了人民主体的歧见力量。总之,为了强调美学的政治和政治的美学,一种蕴含了知识的美学的思考方式和话语实践势在必行。

Aesthetics means a certain distribution of the sensible. Through a certain neutralization of any kind of hierarchies between understanding and sensibility, Kant’s disinterested aesthetic judgment constructs the core of the aesthetic dimension, that is,the dissensus of equality based on the aesthetic disconnection, which is the means for building a new sensible world. All of these bring about the politics of aesthetics. There are two forms of ethical criticism which call off the political potential of the aesthetic heterotopy, the one is the sociological criticism according with the norm of "ethos", and the other is the criticism from the view of absolute Other focusing on "sublime". The aesthetic understanding of politics mainly lies in the notion of democracy, with which politics is an operation of the "as if", a performance of the common justice of anyone.Plato’s consensual "as if" merely means the circle of ethical orders grounded in social differentiations, however, Derrida’s heterogeneous "democracy to come" has completely ruled out the dissensual power of the people. So, all in all, in order to underscore the politics of aesthetics and the aesthetics of politics, a certain kind of discourse has to be set to work, which is a kind of discourse including an aesthetics of knowledge.
