"媚美"与"眩惑"——叔本华与王国维美学范畴比较之一

叔本华在优美和壮美之间又提出“媚美”这一美学范畴,这是他对美的形态分类的一大贡献。这一范畴的提出是与他的人生观和艺术观紧密相连的。王国维的“眩惑”与叔本华的“媚美”在内涵上具有相通之处,同时又包容着中国传统文化的深厚内蕴。文章通过对两者的比较,既说明了它们的贡献与意义,又指出了它们作为特定历史语境产物的局限性。在理解和使用这对范畴时,我们不能将其合理的内核绝对化。

Obsequious Beauty and Being Dizzy and Confused——One of comparisons between aesthetics categories of Schopenhauer and Wang Guowei

Schopenhauer has come up with the aesthetics category of "obsequious beauty" between concinnity and magnificence,which is a great contribution to the classification of the pattern of beauty he does.This category is related to his philosophy and artistic view firmly and intimately.And there is something common in the connotations of Wang Guowei's "being dizzy and confused" and Schopenhauer's "obsequious beauty",that is,they all contain profound contents of Chinese traditional culture.By comparing these two categories,the article not merely explains their contributions and meanings,but indicates their limitations when they are treated as products of the special historical linguistic environment as well.We can not treat their reasonable connotations absolutely while we are comprehending and using these two categories.
