摘要
舍夫茨别利受自然神论和新柏拉图主义影响 ,他超越了英国经验主义和新古典主义美学 ,在 1 8世纪的英国开创了一股新的美学思潮。其主要特点和基本观点是 :他强调美的精神本质 ,认为创造宇宙和谐整体的自然神是美的根源 ,他主张美在于形式或具有构型力量 ,美和真、善具有统一性 ;他首创审美“内在感官”说 ,指出内在感官是天生能力 ,具有直觉特点 ,审美感和道德感相通 ,属社会性情感 ;他强调艺术和道德的联系 ,主张按艺术规律发挥道德和审美的教育作用 ,从而对英国和欧洲启蒙运动美学产生了重要影响。
Influenced by the Deism and the Neoplatonism, Shaftesbury surpasses the 18th century aesthetics based on empiricism and neoclassicism and starts a new trend of aesthetics in Britain. His aesthetics emphasizes the spiritual essence of beauty and regards the natural god that creates the universe of the harmonious entirety to be the origin of beauty.In his opinion, beauty is form, or rather, power that endows form. He advances the theory of the inner sense, pointing out that the inner sense is the inborn ability and has the characteristic of intuition. He contends that art is connected with morality and therefore, the aesthetic feeling is a social affection. His theory thus greatly enhances the Enlightenment movement in Britain and Europe.
