作为价值哲学之重要构成的伦理学和美学,它们之间有怎样的关系?本文先从康德的相关论述说起,具体分析了“美作为道德的象征”这一论题。之后,我们以布罗茨基、汉娜·阿伦特等人的观点为基础,从政治哲学的角度出发,对康德的这一论题做了扩展性评论。在第二节,我们对前期维特根斯坦就此问题的思考,做了较为细致的考察和分析。指明维特根斯坦在两个紧密相连的层面上,认为伦理学和美学是一个东西:(1)从思想表达的角度看,伦理学和美学都是不可说的;因此,它们也都不可能是科学。(2)从形而上的角度看,绝对的善和绝对的美是统一的。在第三节,我们考察了中后期维特根斯坦思想的转变。转向之后的维特根斯坦认为,我们更应在具体的伦理和审美活动中,考察相关语词的日常性使用,而不应仅仅着眼于“善”“美”等语词的形而上学用法。 As an important constitutional value ethics and aesthetics, what is the relationship between them? This article starts with Kant’s related discourse and analyzes the thesis that “beauty is the symbol of morality”. After that, based on the views of Brotsky and Hannah Arendt, we made an expansive review of Kant’s thesis from the perspective of political philosophy. In the second section, we make a more detailed investigation and analysis on the thinking of early Wittgenstein on this issue. To show that Wittgenstein believes that ethics and aesthetics are one thing at two closely connected levels: (1) Ethical and aesthetical can not be said from an ideological point of view; therefore neither of them is likely science. (2) From the metaphysical point of view, absolute goodness and absolute beauty are united. In the third quarter, we examine the transformation of Wittgenstein’s thought in the late period. After turning, Wittgenstein believes that we should examine the daily use of related words in concrete ethical and aesthetic activities instead of focusing solely on the metaphysical usage of such terms as “good” and “beauty.”
