美与审美的评价论和语用学阐释

美是什么?审美是什么活动?迄今为止,众说纷纭.事实上,作为一种公共经验,"美在主观上表现为情感"与"审美是以情感体验的方式进行的评价活动",应是以科学的方法从事实美学研究的两块坚固的基石.美的本质有三个层面:其一,在存在层面上,美是价值.确切地说,美的客观基础或所对应的客观存在是价值.其二,在意识层面上,美是情感也即情性的价值意识.作为倾向性神经兴奋体验的情感是美本身的存在方式即美的本体.其三,在符号层面上,"美"是指称起评价作用(因而对象化了)的情感的语言符号.而审美则是以情感的对象化方式进行的评价活动,简而言之:审美是情性评价活动.

Beauty: Its Evaluation and Pragmatic Interpretation

According to public experience about beauty and esthetic activity, it is clear that "beauty exists as emotion on the subjective side, and that "esthetic activity is a kind of evaluating activity based on emotional experience". These are two most fundamental concepts on which esthetic research is conducted. Essentially, beauty exists as a value, emotion (in terms of consciousness), and emotional linguistic signs(in terms of semiotics). In short, therefore, appreciation of beauty is an evaluating activity per one's disposition.
