《艺概》风格论的阴阳辩证精神

The Yin-yang dialectical spirit conceived in the stylistic theory in the General Survey of Arts

对于《艺概》一书中的辩证精神,学术界一般习惯于用我们所掌握的辩证法去分析,而未注意中国自《易经》而来的辩证精神的特质。本文从成中英教授对中西辩证精神之差异的分析人手,以《艺概》中的风格论为主,对其中的“阴阳辩证法”作了一番讨究,意在指出;《艺概》中的辩证精神是自《易经》而来的“阴阳辩证法”的精神,而非西方自柏拉图始,完备于马克思的“冲突辩证法”的精神。

For the dialectical nature embraced in the General Survey of Arts, the academic circle is generally used to analyzing it in the light of the dialectics we have mastered, having neglected (the influences of) the dialectical property possessed in Yi jing(upon it). Departing from professor CHENG Zhong-ying's analysis on the differences between Western and Chinese dialectical spirits, and mainly taking the stylistic theory in the General Survey of Arts as an example, this paper makes an exploration on the 'Yin-yang dialects' implicated in the book, intending to raise that, the dialectical spirit conceived in the General Survey derives from the 'Yin-yang dialectical' spirit, but not from the 'conflicting dialectics', which originated from Plato and was fully developed by Marx.
