摘要
蔡元培是中国近代美育的积极倡导者和实践者。以往学者将蔡元培的美育单纯视为道德养成的手段,忽略了美育的独立价值。在蔡元培看来,美育是通过欣赏美而获得性情陶冶,养成高尚道德,增加生活情趣,实现崇高的人生理想。美具有普遍性,所以能够打破人我之成见;美具有超脱性,所以可以消除利害关系。美育因此具有了独立的价值,其对个体与社会的作用主要表现在养成高尚道德、提起创造精神和移风易俗三个方面。
Cai Yuanpei is an active advocator and practitioner of China's modern aesthetic education.Previous scholars simply regarded aesthetic education as a means to develop ethics,ignoring its independent value. In Cai's view,aesthetic education is to cultivate temperament,develop lofty ethics,spice up life,and achieve noble ideals through appreciation of beauty. Beauty is universal,and thus can break people 's preconceptions; Beauty is aloof,and thus can eliminate the stakes. Aesthetic education,therefore,has an independent value,with its effects on individuals and society mainly embodied in such three aspects as developing lofty ethics,bringing creativity and transforming social traditions.
