摘要

鑑賞判斷之無關乎利害是 Immanuel Kant(康德)於《判斷力

批判》提出的想法,成為現代美學的理論發源,但兩個世紀以來

受到了不少批評。Arnold Berleant(柏林特)檢視並改造了無關乎

利害等想法,將之納入「融合美學」的環境美學範圍內。他的批

評與轉化是否成功,這是本文欲探討的問題。本文認為:Berleant

對無關乎利害的批評,反而坐實了 Kant 美學的無可迴避;並以此

觀點作為當代美學教育的參考。

Synopsis

In Critique of Judgement, Immanuel Kant proposed disinterestedness of
taste judgement, which has become the theoretical origin of modern aesthetics,
but it has been criticized for many years. Arnold Berleant reformed it, and
incorporated it into environmental aesthetics and aesthetics of engagement.
Does Berleant’s reform succeed? This article tries to answer it, and claims that
Berleant’s criticism of disinterestedness actually proved that Kant’s aesthetics is
unavoidable. These views could be used as education of aesthetics.
