摘要/Abstract

摘要： 美的特征是美学研究的老问题。传统的美学原理教科书在阐释这个问题时，或是存在美的特征与美的定义脱节的现象，或是将美的愉快性与美感的愉快性混为一谈，总之存有比较随意、理论性差、不够严密的缺陷。现代美学研究论著则侧重从美在审美活动中的生成性，否定美具有的统一本质及其定义，因而也就取消了美的特征研究的可能性和必要性。笔者站在建设性的后现代立场，从美是有价值的快感对象这一独特的美的定义出发，重新审视美的特征，得出美具有愉快性、形象性、价值性、客观性、主观性五大特征的系统认识，以期对人们认识这个问题提供有益的参考。本文仅就美的前三种特征加以探讨。

关键词: 美的特征, 愉快性, 形象性, 价值性

Abstract: Textbooks on the principles of aesthetics have all tackled the fundamental issue about the characteristics of aesthetics, but generally there exists a breakdown between the description of characteristics and the definition of beauty or there is no distinction between the pleasure of beauty and the pleasure of aesthetic perception. Modern aesthetic theories have a tendency of highlighting the generative aspect of beauty in aesthetic activities and denying the homogeneous quality of beauty and its definition, and therefore the possibility and necessity of the research into the characteristics of beauty is ungrounded. This paper takes a constructive post-modern stance to re-examine the characteristics of beauty, and defines beauty as a valuable object of pleasure. The paper summarizes the five major characteristics of beauty as pleasure, imagery, value, objectivity and subjectivity, and elaborates on the first three characteristics.

Key words: characteristics of beauty, pleasure, imagery, value
