創造性倫理、民主與藝術教育

Creative Ethics, Democracy, and Artistic Education

藝術能夠教育創造性的倫理、但此倫理不同於遵循原則與規範的典型倫理，而是以個人的責任感為依歸。在後現代的多樣性和民主條件下，能過上自我決定的生活並不容易，這使得創造性倫理更形一大挑戰。本文探討藝術教育何以在敏銳與負責任的個性形塑上，作為相關心理能力發展的重要本源。內容總結並強調了三個關鍵面向：在特定情況下，總體倫理原則和倫理作為過程之間所發展出的兩極性；在不同思維能力的重度激盪與相互作用下所浮現的藝術性思考之複雜性；以及藝術作品和藝術概念能夠處理倫理與教育觀點的不同方式。

Art can educate creative ethics. Such ethics are different from ethics that follow principles or rules. Creative ethics base on the personal responsibility of the individual. It is a crucial challenge for living a self-determinded life under postmodern conditions of diversity and democracy. This text explores how art education can serve as a major source for the development of relevant mental abilities of a sensitive and responsible personality. It summarizes and highlights three crucial aspects: the polarity between overarching ethical principles and ethics as a process, developing out of specific situations; the complexity of artistic thought, which emerges from the critical interplay of different mental faculties; and the different ways in which artworks and artistic concepts can address ethical and educational perspectives.
