The Debate between the Zen Mind and Nature Thought and the "Subject" of the Western Aesthetics of Formalism——Taking the Dance Art of Merce Cunningham as an Example
Under the influence of Eastern Zen philosophy,American modern dancer Merce Cunningham demonstrated the value of the subject's existence through the Zen concept of"mind nature".Cunningham practiced the subject's exploration of the meaning of life through seemingly absurd behavior by emphasizing the"self".Aesthetics of formalism is based on the dichotomy of subject and object in Western modernity thought.By emphasizing the"self-sufficiency and independence"of art,it obscures the presence of the subject,but further strengthens the hegemony of the subject and the binary opposition between subject and object in a relative sense.The concept of"mind nature"differs fundamentally from the aesthetics of formalism.Cunningham used the concept of mind nature to deconstruct the external meaning of dance art,and through emphasizing the things themselves,practiced the freedom of subject life.
