| The body was deliberately suppressed in traditional philosophy until the modern "body turn" provides an opportunity for the return of the body.Richard Shusterman wants to build a discipline of "body aesthetics" with the goal of promoting reflective body awareness to help people use their bodies properly and lead a better life.This paper firstly combs the origin and process of the construction of Somaesthetics.Richard Schusterman critically inherits the body concepts of Plato,Merleau-Ponty and Jameson in the longitudinal review of history,and constructs Somaesthetics from the standpoint of pragmatic philosophy.Secondly,the Somaesthetics is further grasped by the physical training viewpoint of the practical dimension of the body aesthetics,and the clear positioning of the body training idea in the Somaesthetics is confirmed.The correlation between the body training and the daily aesthetic art is discussed from the standpoint of pragmatism.Thirdly,the paper makes a horizontal comparison between Chinese and western concepts of the body,takes physical training as the basis point to analyze the differences and similarities between Chinese and western cultures,and uses the body as a bridge to build a dialogue between Chinese and western cultural resources.Finally,it specifically analyzes the cultural dilemmas encountered by the body in the post-modern context,focusing on the alienation of the body by technology and capital,the alienation of interpersonal relationship,and the pain caused by the novel coronavirus epidemic.It hopes that physical training can produce aesthetic education for the body-subject,so as to help the body transcend and overcome difficulties.In Richard Shusterman’s " Somaesthetics " theory system,the thought of body training aesthetics can not be ignored throughout.If we grasp the study of body training thought,we can have a deeper understanding of body aesthetics,and explore the potential value and practical significance of Somaesthetics in practice. |
