“美学”这一学科的基础问题永远是关于它自身的问题,即这样三个相互关联着的问题:什么是美学,什么是艺术,以及二者之间的关系。这三个问题因其基础而一直深深困扰着当代美学界。本文呼应着宗白华先生八十年前对这个问题的思考而重提这个问题,并给出了自己在新的历史语境中的新的回答。本文重点论述了:美学、艺术与现代性问题,艺术品成立的三个基础性条件,以及作为一种审美意识形态的美学学科的问题。 The basic problem of “aesthetics” is always its own problem, that is, three interrelated problems: what is aesthetics, what is art, and the relationship between the two. These three issues have always plagued contemporary aesthetic circles because of their foundation. This echoes the question of Zong Baihua’s thinking on this issue 80 years ago and recalls his new answer in the new historical context. This article focuses on three issues: aesthetics, art and modernity, the founding of art, and the aesthetic discipline as an aesthetic ideology.
