艺术学的学科性质与发展前景

艺术学不等于特殊艺术学或门类艺术学,不同于艺术批评和艺术史。艺术学一开始是作为与心理学美学针锋相对的美学流派出现的,它试图在研究对象上区别于心理学美学,在研究方法上区别于思辨的哲学美学。艺术学并没有实现它所预设的精密科学的目标,与其说它是科学性质的学科,不如说它是哲学性质的学科。艺术学与美学并无实质性区别,必将消失于美学之中或重新成为美学的一个部门。

The Nature and Prospect of Art Study

Art study is not equal to artistic appreciation and the instruction of artistic creation. It is also different from art criticism and art history. General art study is different from special art study or classified art study. It appears as an aesthetics school opposite to the psychology aesthetics. It attempts to distinguish from psychology aesthetics on its research objects and distinguish from thoughtful philosophy aesthetics on its research methods. Art study has not achieved its goal of precision science that it is supposed to be. It is a philosophy discipline rather than science. There are no essential differences between art study and aesthetics. It is inevitable that art study will lose itself in aesthetics or become one branch of aesthetics.
