论西方美学"天才"论中的合理因素及其启示

学术界有必要对西方美学和文艺理论中“天才”理论的发展和演变轨迹进行认真的梳理和评价。古典天才观将天才归因于“灵感”、“神启”，现代的天才观则把天才归结为人的无意识。天才论探讨过程中的合理性因素在于：它从一些独特的方面涉及对文艺创作主体性的研究，由创作心理的无意识探讨而触及创作才能和艺术规律的研究。这对当前艺术创作中缺乏对艺术必要的尊重和随意性现象的纠正具有启示意义。

The Reasonable Factors of the Theory of Talent in Western Aesthetics and Their Inspiration

This article attempts to sort out and evaluate the trace of development and evolution of the theory of talent in Western aesthetics and art theory, distinguishes, reflects and discusses the difference between the classical view of talent developed by Plato and the contemporary view by German classical aesthetics. The rationality in the discussion on talent view lies in the fact that the discussion concerns the study of the subjectivity of the creation of literature and art, and that it evolves from the unconscious discussion of production mentality to the study of production ability and artistic law. This is enlightening to the present art production in which necessary respect for art is not adequate and willfulness exists.
