蔡仪美学再认识

蔡仪美学在 2 0世纪下半叶表面上享有崇高地位 ,但实际上却有着悲剧性命运。新中国成立后 ,蔡仪美学于其唯物主义认识论美学立场外 ,又引入意识形态理论及毛泽东政治功利主义美学思想 ,前者是客观主义的思路 ,后者是主观主义的思路 ,造成了其理论内部的深刻矛盾。就其唯物主义认识论的内在逻辑发展及其与中国古典哲学美学主观主义传统相左而言 ,蔡仪美学均有另类性质 ,这是其美学理论未能被学术界普遍接受的根本原因。蔡仪美学当有新的学术前景 :化观念为方法 ,以深入细致的审美对象的实证研究 ,走从哲学认识论美学到科学美学的学术路线

Cai Yi's Aesthetic Philosophy Re-studied

Cai Yi's aesthetic theory seemed to have enjoyed a prestigious status in the latter half of the 20th century, but in fact there is something quite tragic about it. After 1949, Cai incorporated the theory of ideology and Mao Zedong's political utilitarian aesthetic ideas into his materialistic epistemological aesthetics. The objectivistic nature of the latter and the subjectivistic property of the former gave rise to a profound self-contradiction in his theory. Both in terms of the innate logical development of materialistic epistemology and its conflict with the subjectivistic tradition of the classical Chinese philosophical aesthetics, Cai's theory shows a heterodoxy, which makes it unpopular in the academic circle. However, Cai's aesthetics can have a new academic future by turning ideas into methods, by careful positivistic studies of the aesthetic object, and by following the path of scientific aesthetics instead of philosophical epistemological aesthetics.
