美化——从乔布斯旗下的“苹果”及当代中国的“城市美化运动”说起

摘要

Beauty is a science as well as an art and embodies philosophical ideas.＂Beautification＂has art,science and philosophy for ultimate goals.The Apple series designed chiefly by Jobs are an incarnation of beauty and reflect the ideals of ＂the bringing together of things beautiful＂,＂the identification of the beautiful with the true＂and＂synonymy between the beautiful and the good＂.On the contrary,the current＂Urban Beautification Campaign＂in China deviates from these ideals and therefore fails to realize the hopes of＂the beautiful merging with the beautiful＂,＂the beautiful merging with the true＂ and＂the beautiful merging with the good＂.%美是艺术,也是科学,美还能代言哲学理念。＂美化＂包括艺术化、科学化及哲学化。乔布斯领导设计的＂苹果＂系列产品是＂美＂的化身,体现了＂美美与共、美真合一、美善同义＂的思想。与之相反,当代中国的＂城市美化运动＂则偏离这样的轨道,没能真正实现＂美化入美、美化入真、美化入善＂的美好愿望。
