从美学范畴的角度论荒诞

荒诞概念盛行于20世纪的哲学、艺术领域。荒诞作为美学范畴与悲剧、崇高有着相同的前提:人与世界的对立和冲突。荒诞的美学特征是"空"。荒诞可以与悲剧、崇高共存而与喜剧(滑稽)不相容。荒诞属于现代主义而不属于后现代主义。后现代主义已经从根本上消解了荒诞。

On Absurdity from the Angle of Esthetics

The concept of Absurdity was flourishing in the areas of philosophy and arts in the twentieth century. As a concept of esthetics, absurdity has the same prerequisite as tragedy and lofty--the opposition and conflict between human beingsand the outside world. Emptiness is the aesthetic characteristic of absurdity. Absurdity may exist together with tragedy and loftiness but is incompatible with comedy. Absurdity belongs to Modernism rather than Post-modernism, for the latter has totally gotten rid of the influence of absurdity.
