论先秦儒家的审美教育思想及其现代意义

先秦儒家认为,审美教育是实现人性完善和社会和谐的根本途径。音乐以其节奏、旋律、秩序等和谐的形式影响人的心理结构,使人的感性生命节律化、秩序化,使人的情感快乐、真挚、丰富、超越;同时,音乐的结构还与政治异质而同构,社会政治的最高目标是达到"至乐无声而天下之民和"的音乐境界;音乐的形式结构及其运动也象征着化育长养万物生命的宇宙之道。先秦儒家通过审美教育追求人的感性欲望与精神生命之间和谐、有度、中庸,追求社会政治和人与自然之间的音乐化境界的思想,对于我们今天实现人的物质功利追求与精神追求之间的平衡,对于政治、经济、科技、管理中以人为本,对于构建和谐社会,具有重要的现实意义。
