西方经济美学思想发展的四个阶段

西方经济学和美学是两门有着密切联系的学科。西方经济学思想在发展过程中体现出明显的美学意味和阶段性特征,即古代经济美学思想的德性之美、近代经济美学思想的德性之美与功利之美、现代经济美学思想的丰裕与幸福之美、当代经济美学思想的和谐与快乐之美。把握这些特征,有利于加强我们对于经济学和美学学科自身性质的认识,可以使我们在学科意义上深化对于经济美学的理论研究与实践应用。

Four stages in Western economic aesthetics

Western economics and aesthetics are two intimate subjects. Western economics has embodied evident aesthetic significance in its historical development, i.e. the beauty of virtue in ancient economic aesthetics, the beauty of virtue and utility in early modern economic aesthetics, the beauty of affluence and well-being in modern economic aesthetics, and the beauty of harmony and happiness in contemporary economic aesthetics. This will both enhance our understanding of the nature of economics and aesthetics and deepen our study and utilization of economic aesthetics as an academic field.
