Memories Of Aesthetic Modernity And Time Reverse Turn Back

This issue of reminiscent aesthetics is established in modern society, aiming to help figure out dilemma of time which is also the dilemma of life and virtue by the way of providing a probable choice of philosophy. In modern society emphasizing time-now and time-future, the research of time-past is very important because of its non-present presence. The way of handling time-past with historical introspection has its inevitable deficiency, but it can be compensated by aesthetic contemplation or reminiscent aesthetics. In the research of aesthetics of reminiscent aesthetics, the questions must be proposed as follow:Why is aesthetics of reminiscence? What is reminiscence? How dose reminiscence happen? How dose reminiscence become itself? What are the significances of reminiscence?The question of reminiscent aesthetics stems from plight of modern people. On the one hand, crisis of modernity need be resolved by resource of tradition (past). On the other hand, the admiration of tradition (past) lived in modern society within art-work. Therefore, the question of modern writing of literature must be noted, let alone it linked with reminiscence and oblivion from classic era. In contrast of harmony of classic beauty and good and pack of modern aesthetic morality, the dimension of goodwill is highlighted and demands of returning to classic value. The question of reminiscence arises at this historic moment initiated by individual experience.On etymology, the concept of reminiscence is related to’mediation’,’inspiration’,’truth’etc, and presents explicitly compound of the true, the good and the beauty. As a concept of philosophy-art, it always links with aesthetics in the history and literary theory, and is endowed with distinguished new meaning, and dropped off classic meaning. Sometimes, some modern philosophers and scholars restated its classic value, but it is still trapped in modernity and becomes everyday memory. The primary difference between classic reminiscence and everyday memory is classic compounded value and modern divided meaning, and the latter is even degenerated into commodity, which seems like’professional’but indeed have lost its individuality.It is necessary to research the event of specific reminiscence after the concept of reminiscence. In view of Steven Owen, reminiscence can be anytime and anywhere and has its ideality, incompletion, and image. This reminiscence of classic China was distinguished into conscious and unconscious in Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past (A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu). In the literary description of the latter, its elements and features were more clear, and the tension of inside and outside was more obvious, with relationship of subject, oblivion, reality, faith and common sense. Literary works of china and abroad all demonstrate complexity of specific reminiscence event. Reminiscence has also meaning of commemorate except individual meaning. So we must begin again from reminiscence eventsThe discussing of reminiscence involves world, time and space and so on. Deleuze’s research of variety in unity among four worlds must be modified because they sacrificed detail discrepancy and ignored world outside of the text. It can be distinguished conscious, unconscious and spirit reminiscence, which can be extracted for reminiscent source while art must be took as reminiscent form. In aspect of the structure of time, the transformation from classic time of roundness to modern linear time is also the transformation from regional time which is individual, concrete, livelihood and free-organized, to world time which is widespread, abstract, procreative and non-free. Reminiscence can make it upside down.In aspect of space whom time based on, reminiscence can give material and spiritual world back to time, and make modern people who is in trap of modern time find their living place of spirit in the relationship with world outside.’Self-experience and Coexist’must be proposed as content of reminiscence.When analyze of reminiscent event finished, reminiscence has its impetus, purpose, form and content, and its meaning also appears. As the aesthetics of’Self-experience and Coexist’, reminiscence can remedy deficiency of relativity of modern truth and morality and lack of ethics and faith of modern communication, and can make modern people find their individual living place of spirit. Finally it benefits for practice and transcendence in modern society.
