Abstract/Summary:
Takeuchi Toshio is one of the most influential aestheticians in Japan in the 20 th century.His aesthetic thought is extremely rich,involving literature,aesthetics,art and other fields.As the crystallization of his long-term thinking and research,the thought of technological aesthetics has become an important part of his aesthetic theory.However,the domestic academic circle is still weak in the study of Takeuchi’s thought of technological aesthetics.In view of this,I choose Takeuchi’s thought of technological aesthetics as my research topic,in order to provide some inspiration and reference for people today in theory and practice.The thesis is divided into three parts: introduction,text and conclusion.The introduction part mainly presents the background of the thesis from three aspects:the reason and significance of the topic,the research summary,the research content and the method.The first chapter combs the theoretical source and evolution of Takeuchi’s technical aesthetics.Firstly,it traces the process from the beginning to the formation of the technological aesthetic thought from three aspects: the western technological aesthetic thought,the anthropological aesthetic thought and the social and historical background of Japan.Then,according to the clue of time,the formation process of Takeuchi’s technological aesthetic thought is divided into three periods: early,middle and late,and the evolution of Takeuchi’s technological aesthetic thought is investigated from a holistic perspective.The second chapter is the main part of the article,refining and expound Takeuchi’s technical aesthetics thought theory.The first section mainly explains the essence of Takeuchi’s technical beauty.From the two aspects of the relationship between beauty and usefulness as well as the relationship between function and form,he discovered the essence of technological beauty,that is,the intuitive manifestation of the "dynamic nature" of function.The second section discusses the reasons for the generation of technical beauty.The generation of technical beauty is the result of cooperation in many aspects,which should be unified in both subjective and objective levels,as well as in function and form.Only by realizing the comprehensive unification in many aspects,can the generation of technical beauty be achieved.The third section discusses technology and beauty of technology in art theory and the practice of beauty of technology in art and industrial production.Takeuchi Toshio believes that technology provides an important supporting role for the theory of artistic essence and philosophy of art,and also provides the possibility for mechanical art.The development of technology has brought great changes to the field of aesthetics and art.In addition,in Takeuchi’s view,although technology is a recognition of truth,it is not a purely theoretical recognition,but a practical recognition.Based on this,he first emphasizes the important role played by artistic skills in the process of artistic practice,and then analyzes the aesthetic criteria that should be followed by technical beauty in industrial production practice.The fourth section is the status of technical beauty.Technical beauty is closely related to natural beauty and artistic beauty.On the one hand,it is close to natural beauty and on the other hand,it is close to artistic beauty.However,in Takeuchi’s opinion,technical beauty is not a simple mixture of natural beauty and artistic beauty opportunity,but a unique position in the field of existence of beauty as a third form of beauty.This chapter mainly explains Takeuchi’s thought of technological aesthetics from four aspects: the essence of technological beauty,the generation of technological beauty,the theory and practice of technological beauty and the status of technological beauty.The third chapter is the significance of Takeuchi’s technical aesthetics thought.The research objects of Western aesthetics pay too much attention to the beauty of art.Takeuchi tries to avoid falling into the research limitations of Western aesthetics.He includes "technology" into the category of aesthetic objects,expands the research field of aesthetics,reconstructs the object structure of beauty,and sees the deep interaction between technology and art,which has a clear direction for the development of the discipline.He also stood in the perspective of modern aesthetics,to reflect on the technical phenomenon,giving people the ultimate spiritual concern.Thus his modern aesthetic system was really established.The epilogue summarizes Takeuchi’s thought of technological aesthetics and gives a prospect to the subject of technological aesthetics.Takeuchi’s thought of technological aesthetics lays a profound theoretical foundation for the development of the subject of technological aesthetics and provides effective aesthetic criteria in the practice of technological aesthetics.In this sense,Takeuchi’s thought of technological aesthetics has certain research value.
