审美意识形态理论是二十世纪八十年代中期由钱中文和童庆炳二位先生创建的,该理论在创建之初以及后来的流传与发展中都引起了学界较大反响。这一理论创新是对中国文艺理论建设的重大贡献。二位先生在有益地扬弃了文学本质千年论争的基础上,在一种新的学术视野上对文艺的本质作了富于创造性的理论综合,提出文学第一层次的本质是审美意识形态。 Aesthetical ideology theory was founded by Qian Zhongwen and Tong Qingbing two persons in the mid-1980s. The theory has aroused much academic response at the beginning of its creation and its spread and development. This theoretical innovation is a major contribution to the construction of Chinese literary theory. Based on the beneficial abandonment of the millennium controversy over the essence of literature, the two gentlemen made a creative synthesis of the essence of literature and art in a new academic field of vision, and proposed that the essence of the first level of literature is the aesthetic ideology.
