论审美体验的本质

On Essence of Aesthetic Experience

分析了目前国内学术界有关审美体验的本质的几种观点,认为以"自由"和"生命"这两个概念来界定审美体验的本质都有一定的缺陷。笔者认为审美体验的本质是"超越",只有"超越"这一概念才能最深刻、最充分地揭示审美体验的内涵,因为从本体论意义上说,"超越"一词的含义比"自由"和"生命"更丰富、更宽泛,它既包含了"自由"和"生命"的双重含义,又超越了这两个概念。

This paper analyses different points of views about the essence of aesthetic experience that have been raised by some domestic scholars. The author considers that there will be some defects if the essence of aesthetic experience is defined with the concepts of freedom or life as it has been done by the domestic learning circle.The author's opinion is that the essence of aesthetic experience is transcendence.Only the concept of transcendence can deeply and fully bring the light in intrinsic quality of aesthetic experience because in the sence of ontology,the meaning of the word 'transcendence' is much richer and broader than that of the word 'freedom'or'life'.Transcendence not only contains the meaning of freedom and life but also exceeds that of these two concepts.
