摘要
当前以韦尔施与高建平为代表的中西方美学界达成的"超越美学"共识,既是对传统的"美学即艺术论"的超越,也是对大众消费文化盛行所致的表面审美化的超越。前者有相当的理论深度与历史影响,后者是全球商业化的今天审美世俗化泛滥的表现。超越美学不是美学之外,而是美学各种概念边界敞开的家族相似,它的对象不再仅仅是一种"美的精神",也是对现实的一种新的认知。超越美学也是向"美学的回归",它不是回到过去,而是回到作为学科的美学自身的领地,回归认识论的审美化,让审美成为一种日常的存在,也是美学向日常生活的回归。开放改革的中国,在发展中所遇到的技术与人文、泛滥的大众文化、生态危机等西方马克思主义者对资本主义发展的多层次和多主题的批判也是中国当代美学批判研究的问题。而西方马克思主义所探讨的审美意识形态、文化研究等主题也是中国美学的研究内容。西方马克思主义只是西方美学思想影响中国的一支。因此,中国当代美学仍然需要借鉴与参照,不能以民族主义心态一味拒之。正确的做法显然还是应少谈"主义",不盲目追求原创,重视消化吸收,取长补短,于中国美学才会有所裨益。
＂Beyond Aesthetics＂ represented by Welsch and Gao in the international and domestic circles of aesthetics transcended both the traditional view of ＂Aesthetics as Art＂ and the superficial aesthetics incurred by the prevailing pop consumer culture. The former had certain theoretical depth and historical influence while the latter was the result of the deluge of aesthetic secularization in today＇s global commercial era. ＂Beyond aes- thetics＂ is not outside of aesthetics, but the family resemblance of aesthetic concepts beyond their boundaries. Its target is not only the ＂spirit of beauty＂, but also a new cognition of reality. ＂Beyond Aesthetics＂ is also the ＂return of beauty＂ which does not mean returning to the past, but return to its own field as a discipline and to epistemologieal aestheticization which makes aesthetic appreciation an everyday existence, thus the return to everyday life. During China~ reform and opening up, the issues encountered like technology and humanities, prevailing pop culture and ecological crisis criticized by the western Marxists in modern capitalist society are al- so the research contents of Chinese contemporary aesthetics. Similarly, such topics as aesthetic ideology and cultural studies have also been the ones for Chinese aesthetics. The western Marxism is only one of the influ- ences among western thoughts. Therefore, it is essential for Chinese contemporary aesthetics to learn from and refer to the western counterpart instead of rejection because of nationalism. We should not talk too much ＂-ism＂, or blindly pursue originality, but attach importance to digestion and absorption and draw on from oth- ers＇ strengths to offset our own weaknesses, which will be conducive to Chinese aesthetics.
