孔子与柏拉图美育思想比较

A Comparison between Confucian and Platonic Thoughts of Esthetic Education

目前,国内外学术界都十分重视对孔子与柏拉图的文艺思想的比较研究,但其在美育思想方面的比较研究却较少。从政治理想方面来说,前者主张“从周”,以恢复周礼,后者追求一种理想中的完美的国家制度;从美育理想方面来说,两人对文艺采取了截然不同的态度,前者对之采取了一种合理的继承,而后者却对之全盘否定;在美育途径方面,他们都严格遵循了循序渐进的教育原则,具有一定的合理因素,但都是为统治阶级服务的。

At present, both the internal and external academic circles attach great importance to the comparative study of Confucian and Platonic thoughts of literature and art, but there is little comparative study of the thoughts of esthetic education. Regarding the political ideal, the former proposed to follow the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, the latter was after a perfect national system in ideal. Regarding the esthetic education, both of them had completely different attitudes toward literature and art. The former adopted the attitude of rational succession,and the latter adopted the attitude of complete denial. In the way of esthetic education, both of them followed strictly the step-by step educational principle, which was of certain rationality. And they both served the ruling class.
