康德美学和崇高美学

Aesthetics of Kant and His "Aesthetics of Sublimity

康德对美的分析和崇高的分析分别构成了现代美学体系建立的奠基石和"美之美学"走向终结的肇始。利奥塔的崇高美学是从康德的崇高论发展而来,虽然与康德的本意已大相径庭,但其解读仍是符合康德崇高论的内在理论思路的,后来蓬勃发展的西方现当代艺术,从某种程度上也正好说明了"不可表现性"的崇高美学理论。

In Kant's work, Critique of Judgement, the section 'Analytic of the Beautiful', and ' Aesthetics of Sublimity' constitute the formation of a modern esthetic system, and the beginning of the end of the esthetics of beauty, respectively. Though Lyotard's 'Aesthetics of Sublimity', which sprung from it, has many differences from Kant's theory on sublimity, the approach still conforms to Kant's essential thinking. To a certain degree, modern western art illustrates the 'unexpressive' aesthetics of the sublime.
