Between those two extreme views there lies, once again, a host of intermediate positions. We believe, for example, that works of art must be appreciated for their own sake, but that, in the act of appreciation, we gain from them something that is of independent value.(50)Thus a joke is laughed at for its own sake, even though there is an independent value in laughter, which lightens our lives by taking us momentarily outside ourselves. Why should not something similar be said of works of art, many of which aspire to be amusing in just the way that good jokes are?
答案
46.或者,人们可能会认为艺术具有负面的影响,像柏拉图在《理想国》一书中所认为的那样,艺术会影响那些接触它的人,使其堕落,或起不到教化作用。
47.哲学家们一直在不懈地探索审美体验中的价值。这种价值是独一无二的,因此不能从别处获得。
48.他们还相信,为了以理解艺术的方式去理解艺术,必须放弃对其他方面的关注而只关注艺术作品本身。
49.比如,我们认为艺术作品必须作为艺术品被人们欣赏,但是我们在欣赏艺术作品时也能从中获得一些具有独立价值的东西。
50.因此,笑话是因为其本身而可笑,尽管笑声中有一种独立的价值,这一价值通过使我们在片刻中脱离自己而燃亮了我们的生命。
