Abstract
In the 1930s, the Bengali philosopher K. C. Bhattacharyya proposed a new theory of rasa, or aesthetic emotion, according to which aesthetic emotions are feelings that have other feelings as their intentional objects. This paper articulates how Bhattacharyya's theory offers a novel solution to the puzzle of how it is both possible and rational to enjoy the kind of negative emotions that are inspired by tragic and sorrowful tales. The new solution is distinct from the conversion and compensation views that dominate the existing literature, and it derives its significance from how it ties aesthetic experience to self-awareness.
20 世纪 30 年代，孟加拉哲学家 K. C. Bhattacharyya 提出了一种新的 "拉萨"（rasa）或审美情感理论，认为审美情感是以其他情感为意向对象的情感。本文阐述了巴塔查里亚的理论是如何为享受悲剧和悲伤故事所激发的那种消极情绪的可能性和合理性这一难题提供新的解决方案的。新的解决方案有别于现有文献中占主导地位的转换和补偿观点，其意义在于它如何将审美体验与自我意识联系起来。
