Intuition is performance.
1.？ Knowledge is divided into intuitive knowledge and logical knowledge. Intuitive knowledge comes down to aesthetics and art, while logical knowledge comes down to philosophy.
(1) Although the artwork also has a concept, the complete effect is intuitive; Although philosophical works are intuitive, the complete effect is still conceptual.
2. Intuition is an activity shaped by the mind in the material world, which does not depend on reason. Intuition is expression, and the two are inseparable.
(1) All pure "intuition-expression" is art, so the difference between artists and non-artists lies in quantity rather than quality.
(2) All arts are "intuition-expression", so art classification has only practical significance, but no philosophical significance.
3. Art appreciation and criticism is a kind of secondary creation, so really good translation also has independent artistic value.
(1) Artistic creation starts from impression, internalizes into intuition of soul, and finally externalizes into artistic form.
(2) Artistic appreciation begins with artistic form and ends with artistic soul, but it is not by mysterious introspection, but by solid artistic accomplishment.
What is poetry?
Croce divided poetry into three types.
1. "Teaching Poetry" or "Speaking Poetry" that emphasizes rationality and preaching-Shelley thinks poetry is the source of rationality and morality, Schiller thinks poetry guides people from sensibility to rationality, and Croce thinks this is not the essence of "real poetry".
2. "Formalism Poetry" or "Mysterious-perceptual Poetry" and "doggerel" that appeal to emotion and rhetoric simply for rhetoric-Croce thinks that this kind of poetry is only emotional entertainment and inflated emotion, not "real poetry".
3. "Classical Poetry" with the successful combination of inspiration and meter, intuition and image-Croce thinks that pure poetry is "sound" and does not convey concepts, but has its own soul, which is "intuition", and the combination of intuition and image is "real poetry".
The joy of poetry comes from the combination of intuition and image.
1. Ancient poetics can't guide creation because it doesn't realize that the true meaning of poetry lies in intuition and expression.
(1) Romanticism emphasizes passion and imagination.
(2) Classicism emphasizes rationality and restraint.
2. The combination of intuition and image is the fusion of emotion and reason, passion and thought, so the pleasure of poetry is twofold.
(1) Genius and ordinary people can feel this pleasure.
(2) It is difficult for critics who specialize in poetics to feel this pleasure.
(3) Therefore, we should use a natural state of mind and fresh and frank emotions to perceive the world.
