本体论意义上的美不存在

美学论著中经常谈论美、审美,其实美并不存在。美既不是一个实存的对象,也不是对象的某种性质,严格地说美也算不上是抽象概念。美学史上真正有价值的美的定义最终都指向空无,而指向物质对象和属性的则不能成立。真正存在的是鉴赏活动,这是因为人在历史过程中发展起精神能力,于是就有了精神需要,这使得人不仅有了物质享受,还有了精神享受。鉴赏活动是人在精神或情感上对自己的生存状态和生存环境的顺应和喜爱,人以自己的精神能力创造出一个充满诗情的世界,通常所说的美就是只存在于人心中的这种诗情。把美当作真实的存在是一种错觉。应当以“鉴赏”和“鉴赏学”代替“审美”和“美学”。

No Ontological Beauty Existed

Writings in aesthetics often talk about "beauty" and "watching beauty",but actually,does not a exist at all.Beauty is neither a substantial object nor some attributes of objects,also not a abstract concept.In the history of aesthetics,all of valuable definitions of beauty signifing nothing at last,other difinitions directed material objects are not tenable.What truly exist are the actions of appreciation,because in the course of history the spiritual faculties of human beings are developed,then spiritual needs emerge.Human beings not only have acheived ability of material enjoy,but also ability of spiritual enjoy.Actions of appreciation is that human beings spiritually or emotionally conform to and are fond to their own existing states and surroundings of lives.Human beings created a poetical world with their own spiritual facultlies,therefore,so-called "beauty" is this poetical emotion.People believe that the beauty truly exist is a false impression.We must displace the theory of beauty with the "theory of appreciation".
