“美是理念的感性显现”——至少在“感性显现”意义上,美学家们很少怀疑过黑格尔美学这个核心命题。然而王元化先生的《读黑格尔》却使我们有理由提问:为什么非感性、纯思辨的理论著作,也能够唤起审美感受?黑格尔著作是思辨理论之典范,《读黑格尔》是对思辨的思辨,后者分明蕴涵乃至洋溢着深切的审美感动。 “Beauty is the Perceptual Display of Ideas ” - At least in the sense of “perceptual manifestation ”, estheticians rarely suspect the core proposition of Hegelian aesthetics. However, Mr. Wang Yuanhua’s Hegel Reading makes us have reason to ask: why non-emotional, pure speculative theoretical writings can also evoke aesthetic feelings? Hegel’s book is a paradigm of speculative theory, “Reading Hegel” is Speculation on speculation, which is clearly implied and even filled with deep aesthetic movement.
