人(或政治行动中的人)为何需要艺术?阿伦特给出了以下三个层层深入的答案:第一,必有一死之人,他需要在物化的艺术中寻求一个稳固的、具有持存性的世界,从而感到安慰。第二,个别之人需要在公共空间留下自己是“谁”的印记,他需要艺术来让后人记住他的政治言行,从而在人们的记忆中获得不朽。第三,对于现实的政治公共空间中的个人,他可以通过艺术化的政治行动(“德艺”)在当下实现自由;另一方面,艺术还可以通过无功利的审美趣味来影响人们的心灵,让人们具有“思想”的能力,通过政治艺术的表演模仿,让人们形成“共通感”(common sense),从而在(甚至非公共空间的)生活中也能自由行动。 Why Are Men (or Political Men) Need Art? Arendt gives the following three layers of in-depth answers: First, there must be a man of death who needs to seek a solid, Comforting world Second, individual people need to leave their mark as “who ” in public space. He needs art to make future generations remember his political words and deeds and thereby gain immortality in people’s memory. Thirdly, for the individual in the real political public space, he can realize freedom in the moment through artistic political action (“German art”); on the other hand, art can also influence people through non-utilitarian aesthetic taste , Letting people have the ability to “think”, imitating the performance of political art and allowing people to form “common sense,” so that they can move freely in (even non-public) life .
