摘要: 目前学界关于审美过程中认知和情感关系的研究观点还有些分歧,其中神经美学家瓦塔尼安认为人脑审美机制中认知和情感共同发挥作用,并提出审美体验中的“快乐”这一概念,试图在神经美学研究领域搭建一个能够联系情感和认知的理论框架。瓦塔尼安从审美体验加工模式、情感体验理论和审美实验案例等神经美学研究角度出发,逐步推测和例证“快乐”在审美体验中发挥的作用:快乐把审美中的认知和情感功能连接起来,共同促发人脑进行审美体验和审美判断。审美快乐理论引发了我们从神经美学角度对美感与快感、美与崇高、审美净化、审美共通感等概念进行新阐释,以及对一些美学问题和美学意义的新思考。

Abstract: The study of the relationship between cognition and emotion in the common aesthetic mechanism of human brain is subject to debates. Oshin Vartanian, among others, suggests that cognition and emotion play an equally important role in the aesthetic process. He brings the concept of “pleasure” to the forefront in aesthetic experience and attempts to build a theoretical framework of neuroaesthetics that can link the study of emotion and that of cognition. Based on the aesthetic experience processing patterns, the emotional experience theory, as well as aesthetic experiential cases, Vartanian speculates and illustrates how pleasure plays a role in aesthetic experience. Pleasure links cognitive and emotional functions in aesthetic appreciation, which jointly drive the aesthetic experience and aesthetic judgment in human brain. The theory of aesthetic pleasure has also informed new interpretations from the perspective of neuroaesthetics about such fundamental questions as beauty and the sublime, aesthetic feeling and pleasure, aesthetic purification, and aesthetic common sense.

Key words: pleasure; aesthetic experience, emotion, cognition
