音乐是人类精神文化的本性象征。 音乐揭示世界和人生的双重奥秘,并通过这种感性生命的揭示,展示有限生命获得无限精神超越的自由境界。 管建华兄的新著《中国音乐审美的文化视野》一书,是对音乐本体存在及其文化阐释意义的全新揭示。我读这部著作的一个直观感受是作者的视野宏大,见解新颖。作者主旨在于写一部音乐美学,但他并没有泛泛地对音乐进行哲学的形而上学的讨论,而是在音乐文化人类学基点上,从人类文化的总体视界(如语言、书法、哲学、文学、建筑、绘画、舞蹈、医学等),进行相当有深度的比较美学和文化美学探讨,形成一种颇有特色的音乐比较文化美学的研究,廓大和深化了音乐美学的本体论基础。 Music is the spiritual symbol of human nature. Music reveals the double mysteries of the world and life, and through this revelation of perceptual life shows the limit of freedom to which limited life transcends the infinite spirit. Guan Jianhua’s new book, “The Cultural Vision of Chinese Music Aestheticism,” is a new revelation of the existence of the musical ontology and its cultural interpretation. An intuitive feeling I read in this book is the author’s vision and novelty. The main purpose of the author is to write a musical aesthetics. However, he does not generally discuss the philosophical metaphysics of music. Instead, he focuses on the cultural anthropological point of view, from the overall perspective of human culture (such as language, calligraphy, philosophy, literature, Architecture, painting, dance, medicine, etc.) to conduct a comparative study of comparative aesthetics and cultural aesthetics, forming a quite distinctive study of the comparative cultural aesthetics of music, and broadening and deepening the ontological foundation of musical aesthetics.
