西方早期古典美学中的虚构与观照
Conceptus and Aesthetic Contemplation in Early Classical Western Aesthetics

通过梳理从早期希腊直至近代古典美学思想脉络，我们能够发掘其中所隐藏着的人类对于外在世界再创造的规律。在不同时期美学思想流派与艺术作品发展的过程中，理论又从艺术本质及艺术创造的探索进入到主体对于审美对象的凝视及品悟，即从虚构到观照。基于想象的摹仿被视为一种合情理的虚构，对于美的观照及感知则与主体对客体产生的关系密切相关，其表现可从西方早期古典美学理论以及更多近现代文艺作品中发现。
By combing through the lineage of aesthetic thought from early Greek to modern classical times, we are able to uncover the hidden laws of human re-creation of the external world. In the course of the development of aesthetic thought and artworks in different periods, the theory moves from the exploration of the nature of art and artistic creation to the subject’s gaze and perception of the aesthetic object, that is, from conceptus to aesthetic contemplation. While imaginative imitation is seen as a sensible conceptus, the perception and aesthetic contemplation of beauty is closely related to the relationship that the subject has with the object, and its manifestations can be found in early Western classical aesthetic theory as well as in many more works of literature and art.
