布瓦洛诗艺之思的现代价值与意义

“美源自理性”正是布瓦洛诗学的艺术启蒙之思及理论经验主张。事实上,作为新古典主义文论的代表作《诗的艺术》主要是一本以古希腊、罗马优秀杰作为典型模范而批评当时流行的低俗作品为特质的著述。从某种意义上说,它是当时社会戏剧文艺创作上奉“理性”为赏心悦目、生趣遣怀、快意称道等审美规范症候现象的趋势呈现和环境影射。若以一种知往鉴今的视野来看,作为古典主义美学的倡导者和实践者,布瓦洛凭着《诗的艺术》所阐述的古典主义诗艺创作的法则与特征,却打破常规地歌颂了“理性至上”的文艺创作审美理想和“崇高风雅”的宫廷王权生活。实际上,布瓦洛“美源自理性”的观念拈出,进一步激发了日后欧洲整体的古典理性审美表达的悄然崛起和伏在回归。可以说,它在某种程度上深刻拓展并奠定了欧洲颇为耐人寻味的古典主义文艺创作规范的根基,同时在一定的意义上标举与突显了布瓦洛诗艺之思尤为明显的现代价值和世界意义。

The Modern Value and World Significance of Bovalo's Poetic Thoughts

That "beauty comes from reason" is the artistic enlightenment and theoretical experience of Bovalo''s poetics. In fact, as the representative work of neoclassical literary theory, The Art of Poetry mainly criticizes the inferior works of the time as a typical model with a great example of ancient Greece and Rome as a typical model. Specifically, as an advocate and practitioner of the roots of classical aesthetics, Bovalo proposed and elaborated the rules and characteristics of classical poetry creation with his Art of Poetry, and also praised it explicitly or implicitly. The ideal of "rationality" is to beautify the life of the palace king. It should be pointed out that on the basis of discovering the limitations of Horace''s "poetry", Bovalo was able to rewrite the important inner edge of The Art of Poetry in the future. It can be said that this is the result of some historical aesthetic contex at that time. In a certain sense, although it has deeply laid the foundation for classical literary creation and poetics research to a certain extent, and at the same time it has aggravated Bovalo''s poetic aesthetics in a certain sense. However, the academic circles have historically had many subtle controversies and criticisms on several issues in the thinking of this classical poetic art. This is a question that is particularly thought-provoking and worth rethinking.
