“美是多层累的突创”说的启示价值——兼论美学研究中的观念与方法的问题

摘要: “实践论美学”是在苏联社会派美学的启示下,按马克思的“人的本质力量的对象化”的思想,视美为人在实践过程中把自己的本质力量烙印在对象上,是人在观照对象中所领悟到的一种精神价值。但由于当年它的倡导者只是按认识论的观点进行研究,以致无视价值与评价的内在联系,把美与美感分离开来、对峙起来,而使“实践论美学”趋于纯理论化和形而上学化。蒋孔阳先生较早地发现了这个问题,并试图转向“从现实生活出发”,按“经验复合论”来解决问题,以致未能与价值论的方法完全统一起来,同样难以按实践论美学的精神而达到理论与实践的统一。今天我们继承蒋先生的遗愿,在蒋先生研究成果的基础上把它进一步推向前进,乃是对蒋先生最切实而诚挚的纪念方式。
The Enlightenment of the Statement “Beauty Is Cumulative Emergence”—Problem of Ideas and Method in Aesthetic Study
Abstract: The aesthetics of praxis, as revealed by the sociological school of aesthetics of the former Soviet Union, and according to Marx's idea of "the objective projection of human essential force", looks at aesthetics as the human beings press their own essential force onto an object in the process of praxis, and a spiritual value comprehended by human beings in the objects being observed. But owing to its advocates had only engaged their studies according to epistemology, resulting in neglecting the inner relationship between value and review, separating beauty from the sense of beauty, and putting them into opposition, while making aesthetics of praxis towards a pure theory and metaphysics. Professor Jiang Kongyang found this mistake quite early, and he tried to convert to "starting from real life" in order to solve the problem with "empirical complex". Failed to completely combine with the methodology of the theory of value, it also could not attain the unity of theory and practice in the spirit of the aesthetics of praxis. Now we inherit Professor Jiang Kongyang's will, we are to promote this study based on his scholastic achievements, which would be the most honest and most practical way in commemorating his 100th birthday after his life.
