论宗教疏离美学的一面

宗教与美学有亲缘关系,但宗教也有疏离美学的一面。其根本原因是宗教信仰赖以发生的虔诚心理不能容纳审美活动必需的自由创造精神;其具体表现一是宗教戒律和宗教禁欲主义遏止了审美情感和审美体验,二是人为宗教反偶像崇拜的主张破坏了审美活动必不可少的形象直观性,三是被宗教畸形驭使的理性思辨阻碍了审美-艺术思维的发展。

Study on the anti--aesthetic inclination of religion

Religion has genetic relationship with aesthetics, but it also has obvious anti-aesthetic inclination. This inclination is revealed in the early developing stage of artificial religion. The basic reason is that pious psychology on which the occurrence of religious belief depends can't contain the spirit of free creation which is necessary in the aesthetic activities. The specific manifestatain is as follows: Firstly, religious discipline and asceticism suppress aesthetic affection and experience. Secondly, anti-idolatry proposed by artificial religion destroys the visualization which is indispensable in the aesthetic activities. At last, rational analysis which is over-emphasized and even dominated deformedly by religion holds back the development of aesthetic-artistic thought.
