新艺术的希望之光或假象——析阿多诺的艺术哲学

Hope or Illusion of New Art-Analyzing the Art Philosophy of Adorno

在西方学术界,阿多诺的艺术哲学占有相当重要地位。他在继承传统美学的基础上,大胆提出艺术与社会相一致的主张,努力探索和彰显艺术的社会功能,并以此为20世纪新艺术现象,尤其是无调性音乐作辩护,从而开创了艺术哲学的一个新维度。但是,艺术不等于社会,试图用新艺术来拯救社会只是阿多诺的幻想。尽管阿多诺把假象当作希望,但是他不断追求、积极探索的勇气和精神仍是值得肯定的。

The art philosophy of Adorno occupies an important position in the academic community of the West. On the basis of carrying forward traditional esthetics, he courageously advocates the unity between art and society, and explores and represents the social functions of art. With this view he vindicates new art in the 20th century, especially twelve-tone music, and produces a new direction of art philosophy. However, art cannot replace society. Therefore the attempt to rescue the present society with new art is Adornos sheer illusion. The article affirms the spirit and courage of Adorno to seek the truth while expounding that he mistakenly regards illusion as hope.
