“审美救治”与艺术教育——对马尔库塞教育思想的一种解读

教育成为马尔库塞视野中的重要内容是与他对发达工业社会的批判性分析分不开的。马尔库塞认为,对这样一个社会的救治必须走美学之路,因为“审美”可以使人们认清现实,唤醒人们麻木的意识,从而为人们追求自由与幸福找寻出路。当然“审美”的获得只有通过艺术教育才能完成,这是由艺术的“异在”性特征所决定的。通过艺术而进行的教育牵扯到教育之“觉”的问题,正是这“觉”将唤醒所有救赎的力量。

Aesthetic Remedy and Art Education--An explanation on Marcuse's educational thought

Marcuse's idea that education is of great importance could not separate with his critical analyses on the developed industrial society. Marcuse thinks that such a society can only be remedied by the method of aesthetics because aesthetics can make people see reality clearly, and wake people's numb consciousness up, and look for an outlet for people's freedom and happiness. Certainly, only through art education can we acquire this kind of aesthetics. This is determined by the nature of art alienation. Education through art concerns the issue arousal in education, and it is just the arousal that will wake all remedy strength up.
