审美：“忧生”抑或“忧世”——兼论生命美学的失误（二）

老庄、孔孟哲学思想中都包含着“忧生”与“忧世”、“入世”与“出世”的生命观,这是一种更高层次上的人生忧虑。生命美学论以西方思想作为理论支点,在曲解“忧生”、“忧世”关系,否认现代中国美学成就的过程中陷入自设的“二元”对立,表现出“唯我独尊”的美学错觉;生命美学要为中国美学补神性,但内在地显示了夸大美学功能的倾向,其目的是为生命美学造神。

Aesthetic Attitude:Anxiety of life or Anxiety of Society

With the western aesthetic ideas as the theoretical prop,aesthetics of existence distorts the relationships between"anxiety of life"and"anxiety of society"and denies the fact that the Chinese aesthetics falls into the trap of binary opposition established in the course of its formation,therefore manifesting an arrogant aesthetic allusion.The aesthetics of existence is,undoubtedly,a vital complement to the Chinese aesthetics,but its function is so unduly exaggerated as to be worshiped and idolized.
