摘要
19世纪晚期,德国学者格罗塞认为新兴的人类学领域能够为美学和艺术理论研究提供一种支撑。格罗塞在1891年写出的《人类学与美学》一文中提出了自己的观点。他认为人类学不仅能提供非欧洲文化中的经验性数据,而且还给出了具有阐释力的语境性的和跨文化的比较视角。格罗塞回顾了丹纳、杜博斯、赫尔德等人的研究,他们都曾将人类学材料和视角应用于艺术理论和美学的研究之中。在格罗塞看来,人类学方法指的是对某一特定主题所进行的语境性的跨文化比较研究。他概要性地提出了艺术理论中的三个主题,即艺术的起源、艺术和美学中的普遍主义与文化相对主义,他认为惟有运用人类学方法才能解决这些问题。格罗塞的观点,体现出了19世纪的开放精神。
In the late nineteen century, Grosse, a German scholar, asserted that the newly emerging anthropology could give a support to aesthetics and art theory. Grosse put forward his view on anthropology and aesthetics in 1891. He thought anthropology would provide not only empirical data on extra-European cultures in time and space, but a contextual and cross-cultural comparative perspective that held the promise of explanatory power. He reviewed several research findings of Hippolyte Taine, Jean Baptiste Dubos and Johann Gottfried who applied the anthropological data and perspective to art theory and the study of aesthetics. In the view of Grosse, anthropological method was a kind of contextualized and inter- cultural comparative study that aimed at some specific topic. Grosse briefly illustrated three topics of art theory, namely, the origin of art, universalism of art and aesthetics, cultural relativism. According Grosse, the only solution to these problems is to make use of anthropological method. Grosse＇s theory embodied an open spirit of the nineteenth century.
