The Phenomenology And The Aesthetics Of Roman Ingarden

On the basis of criticism and reflection for the Vernunft and Erkenntnis, Husserl constructed his vigor science— phenomenology what he called, whose object is "Zu Den Sachen". In his opinion, the phenomenology focused on the foundation of the phenomena which was under reduction. Phenomenology is similar with aesthetics in many aspects, the development of the phenomenological aesthetics also showed the same course with the vigor science.The thought of Ingarden's phenomenology, on the basis of the Husserl's philosophical phenomenology, had a further research on the Ontology of philosophy and aesthetics. Ingarden thought, the research on the phenomenology was founded on the premise of physical materials; the argument of idealism-realism was his whole basement of thought.At first, Ingarden had a fine and further research on the ontology of art works esp. the literary work of art. In his opinion, the literary work of art is neither the object of idealism nor the object of realism, but an intentional correlates which are on the basis of their foundation, and the art of work is completely constructed by the stratified formations. Therefore, Ingarden would like to provide only an "essential anatomy" of the literary work of art, which was a new methodology for the literary research.The aesthetic thought of Ingarden also focused on the investigation of the related factors in the course of aesthetic activities. He first confined the differences between the work of art and the aesthetic object, the activity of aesthetic experience is to match with the aesthetic object, which was considered as the result of the preliminary emotion. On the basis of the further differentiation between them, Ingarden thought "Artistic value is something which arises in the work of art itself and has its existential ground in that; Aesthetic value is something which manifests itself only in the aesthetic object and as a particular moment which determines the character of the whole".Ingarden's aesthetic thought is the important contents of phenomenological aesthetics, which strongly influenced the hermeneutic aesthetics and the theory of reader-response. Therefore, It is a great importance for the research on the western aesthetics of the whole 21th century to understand his aesthetics.
