摘要
城市美学是伯林特环境美学思想的重要组成部分。伯林特从纠正我们习惯上对城市的错误认识出发,提出城市不是物理实体,而是我们获取城市经验的有机语境的观点。伯林特认为,城市没有确定的物理边界,而是一个包含一切的、综合的、动态的人类—环境综合体,其特征是连续性而非分离性。现代城市在建设规划上往往只顾追求城市的片面利益,比如政治的、经济的利益等,却忽略了真正属于人性的整体需求。城市美学的任务就是帮助人们将美学的价值融入到城市规划中去,使城市在追求功利价值的同时不以丧失美学价值为代价,从而创造出适宜人类栖息的、真正人性化的城市环境。
Urban aesthetics is an important part of Berleant’s environmental aesthetics. By pointing out the improperness of traditional understandiong of"city",Berleant argues that"city"denotes not a physical entity,but an organic context in which people obtain urban experience. Without a definite boundary,"city"is an all-inclusive,synthetical,dynamic human-environment unity,the characteristics of which is cohesive rather than saperate. Modern cities usually put undue emphasis on their empirical functions,such as political or economic functions,while neglecting the really humane needs as a whole. The goal of urban aesthetics is to help people to bring the aesthetic consideratioins into city planning and construction,so as to avoid losing the aesthetic value while pursuing utilitarian values,hence to make a really humanized urban environment.
