A Comparison of Conceptions of Manifestation between Phenomenology and Aesthetics:Taking Zhang Xianglong and Seel's Aesthetics as an Example
Based on Husserl's phenomenology,Zhang Xianglong reinterprets the mechanism of manifestation,indicating that it is the original aesthetic experience.This perspective aligns with Seel's aesthetics of manifestation,as both sides advocate that beauty is inherent in the original perceptual experience.However,unlike Zhang Xianglong's development of Husserl's phenomenology,Seel's aesthetics of manifestation inherits Baumgarten's aesthetic approach.When elucidating and defending the concept of manifestation,he appeals to Heidegger's ontology and McDowell's view of perception but deliberately avoids Husserl's phenomenology.Therefore,with a reference to Husserl's phenomenology,we can better see the differences between the two views of manifestation.Following Husserl's line,Zhang Xianglong reduces his conceptualized cognition to pre-conceptualized intentional constitution,and in combination with Heidegger's ideas,further reduces intentional constitution to horizontal constitution,thus suspending the cognitive function of the intentional object,and showing the beauty of the pure intentional constitution.Being different from this,Seel maintains that the beauty of manifestation comes from the free activity of conceptual cognition,which,strictly speaking,still secretly relies on conceptual cognition,but is a purposeless application of it.This dilemma is further reflected in his view of time.Due to his failure to utilize Husserl's distinction between the present-point and the present-field,his description of the presence of manifestation often falls into conflict.Zhang Xianglong's description of time fully takes advantage of H usserl's insight,which can provide a clearer description of the differences between the two types of time and experiences.
