『莊子』에서 ‘化’ 개념의 미학적 탐색: 대상 인식에 내재하는 미학적 특징을 중심으로

Abstract

In artistic creation, understanding the unique characteristics of subject is closely connected with achievement of creative work of art. The leading concept in the 『Zhuangzi』 awareness of an epistemic and aesthetic characteristics associated with the target recognition is ‘change’ It is clearly shown in 'A happy excursion' that Zhuang-tzu’s fundamental ideology point of view starts of from realization of constant change of subject matters. The main point of this thesis is epistemological features represented in 『Zhuangzi』 is artistic phenomenon that it contains clues to explore the inherent characteristics of the ‘aesthetic object.’ Artists entrust meanings based upon visible objects and emblem them into visual language. Thus recognition of subject matter is important basis to calculating the outcome of work of art. Fundamentally, this is not much different from East Asia’s traditional creation from modern art that emphasizes manifestation of creativity. Most of all, Zhuang-tzu’s conception of ‘change’ connote awareness of characteristics of subject and in wider perspective, it shows his attitude to view the world as transparent property. For this the discussion observed three key concepts presented in 『Zhuangzi』 and proceeded discussion. First, examined the epistemic idea of ‘change’ meaningful context. Secondly, examined the logical relationship that leads to ‘wandering’ and ‘On levelling all things’ Finally, as identified in this process, the thesis defines the analogical connection with comprehended awareness of ‘change’ to Zhuang-tzu’s awareness of ‘aesthetic object.’
