柏拉图在《理想国》中提出的要将诗人逐出理想国的思想,历来受到人们的指责,认为他这是对诗学、对艺术价值的剥夺,因而是反美学的。但我们同时也不得不注意,他的美学思想前后存在着矛盾,正是这些矛盾才代表了柏拉图对诗学的真正态度——不是批判,而是热爱。本文从柏拉图美学思想中的矛盾之处出发,去探讨柏拉图是如何让矛盾相互统一,并对柏拉图美学思想中的不足和对现实的警示意义进行了分析。 Plato’s idea of ​​“extirpating the poet from the ideal state” put forward in “The Republic of the Nation” has always been criticized by people as being deprived of the poetics and the value of the arts and therefore anti-aesthetics. At the same time, however, we also have to pay attention to the contradictions that exist before and after his aesthetic thoughts. It is these contradictions that represent Plato’s true attitude to poetics - not criticism, but love. This article starts with the contradictions in Plato ’s aesthetic thought, explores how Plato unified the contradictions, and analyzes the shortcomings in Plato’ s aesthetic thoughts and the warning significance to the reality.
