回返自然 --美学的当代课题

美学从一开始就被限定在直觉-情感-艺术的领域,它的基本问题一般被表述为艺术与现实的关系,而按照马克思的理解,美学基本问题应为人与自然的统一.在一定意义上,也就是康德讲的感性与理性的统一.从这一点出发,美学应该给予自然美,即自然的鉴赏以更多的关注.在自然环境遭到严重破坏的今日,人与自然的统一已是美学不能不面对的最为迫切和重大的课题.

Returning to Nature A Contemporary Theme of Aesthetics

Aesthetics is from the very beginning limited to the fields of intuition, emotion and art.Its fundamental problem is generally expressed as the relationship between art and reality, and aestheticsshould be the unity of nan and nature as Marx understands it. This is to a certain extent what Kant callsthe unity of perception and reason. Proceeding from this point, aesthetics should show more concern tonatural beauty, i.e. to the appreciation of nature. Today when natural environment is being seriouslydamaged, aesthetics cannot but face this major and most urgent problem of the unity of man and nature.
