体验·反思·思辨——关于美学方法论问题

近百年来 ,中国美学在方法论上经历了三次转变。哲学的方法尚未立定脚跟 ,便被心理学方法所取代了 ;心理学方法尚未得到总结 ,又为新的马克思主义哲学和社会学所摈弃了。 80年代之后出现了方法的多元化倾向 ,一方面推进了美学多层面的研究 ,另一方面又在一定程度上使美学面临无所适从的境地。美学是跨越在形而上与形而下之间的综合性、边缘性学科 ,它需要依恃一定哲学体系的支持 ,同时也需借鉴其它学科的成果 ,但美学应该有自己独特的研究方法 ,这就是体验———反思———思辨的方法

On the Question of Aesthetic Methodology

During the past century, Chinese aesthetics experienced three changes on methodology. Philosophical method didn\'t stand firmly, and the psychological method replaced it. It was replaced again by the methods of Marxist philosophy and sociology soon. In the 1980s, the inclination to the method\'s pluralization emerged. On one hand, it promoted the Chinese aesthetic research by many levels; on the other hand, it drove aesthetics to an awkward situation in a certain extent. Aesthetics is a comprehensive and frontier science between metaphysics and experience. It needs some supports of a centain philosophic system, in the meanwhile, it also needs other disciplines achievements. However, aesthetics should own its unique method. They are experience, reflection, and dialectic.
