On Schopenhauer’s Critical Inheritance To Kant’s Aesthetic Thought Of "No Interests"

As an important theoretical proposition of aesthetic attitude in aesthetics,"Aesthetic Disinterestedness" is generally considered by the academic circles to be the first one put forward by Kant in Critique of judgment,which has influenced the discussion and development of aesthetic attitude in modern western aesthetics.This proposition emphasizes that the pleasure of aesthetic feeling obtained by people in aesthetic activities has nothing to do with any desire and utilitarian concept of the aesthetic subject,and has nothing to do with some practical functional values of the aesthetic object in real life.People get emotional pleasure in pure aesthetic appreciation activities that do not involve desire and interest,and do not contain purpose.Schopenhauer,the subjective idealist who promoted the transition of philosophy from rationalism to voluntarism after Kant and in the transitional period of modern aesthetics,developed his own theory of will philosophy on the basis of Kant’s thought of "Aesthetic Disinterestedness",and further inherited the relevant aesthetic thought of disinterestedness from the perspective of pure aesthetic intuition,which is only different from Kant The reason is that Schopenhauer’s thinking on philosophical aesthetics is based on the absolute irrationality,and combined with his own will philosophy and pessimism,he put forward that art has the philosophical aesthetic value of redeeming human beings and alleviating pain,which has an important impact on the subjectivity aesthetics of western modern subjective idealism.The goal of this paper is to explore Schopenhauer’s and Kant’s interpretation of the same aesthetic proposition on the basis of completely different philosophies with the clue of " Aesthetic Disinterestedness ",so as to reveal the important significance of Schopenhauer’s Aesthetics under the philosophy of subjective will.It is not only that people simply appreciate beauty and produce happy emotions,but also that aesthetics bears the responsibility of saving philosophy Responsibility,art aesthetic plays an important role in transcending the will of life and redeeming the pain of life.However,the aesthetic thought of "disinterestedness" does not originate from Kant,that is,if we want to trace the origin of this proposition,we should start from the ancient Greek period,Plato and Aristotle have begun to think about the essence of beauty,and the discussion about beauty and good is mixed with the discussion of interest.Therefore,the overall writing idea of this paper has been determined,that is,around the " disinterestedness" aesthetic thought,first from the ancient Greece,the British empiricist’s discussion of philosophy and aesthetics to find clues,sort out the different perspectives of the analysis of beauty,from the dependence of beauty on metaphysics,theology and religious forces,to the concern of the subject itself and feeling in the 18 th century In the aspect of emotion,the discussion of beauty is not related to interests,which helps us better understand the development and changes of this aesthetic thought.In the critical discussion of Schopenhauer’s and Kant’s "disinterestedness" aesthetic thoughts,this artical focuses on the discussion of their " disinterestedness " aesthetic thoughts,and makes a comparative analysis of the purity and disinterested in aesthetic activities.Considering Schopenhauer’s high love of music,the exploration of Kant’s artistic problems is mainly focused on music In this paper,from the perspective of music aesthetics,we can see Schopenhauer’s critical inheritance of Kant’s " disinterestedness " thought,think about their different aesthetic value judgments of Art Music under different philosophical backgrounds,and reveal the liberation of Schopenhauer’s art theory from the blind pursuit of philosophical will.Under the discussion of Schopenhauer’s role in art’s redemption of life,this paper hopes to objectively and comprehensively investigate Schopenhauer’s philosophical embodiment of aesthetics from the perspective of music,and grasp the connotation of art aesthetics to get rid of the pain of life and realize the freedom of life.
