本文研究主軸在於釐清沃夫林(Heinrich Wölfflin,1864-1945 )寫作《藝術史的基本概念》(Kunstgeschichtliche Grundbegriffe. Das Problem der Stilentwicklung in der neueren Kunst. 1915)時所面對的美學與藝術史問題，採取「經典－詮釋－問題討論」的方式來安排對沃夫林原典的研究與相關文獻探討，以期引向研究主旨：對沃夫林「藝術史基本概念」的深層理解。 本文通過對沃夫林著作與手稿的考察，簡述其學思的發展歷程，並分別從其個人筆記、信件、學生課堂筆記、演講稿，以及與五組基本概念相關的理論著述等資料，回顧五組基本概念的發展與演變。同時通過重譯沃夫林《藝術史的基本概念》中與五組基本概念相關的論述重點，以探索其中所涵攝的問題。最後則針對沃夫林藝術史與美學思想的學術定位加以討論，同時陳述、回應現代藝術史學者對沃夫林的代表性批判。 The purpose of this research is to elaborate and clarify the issues on aesthetics and art history Heinrich Wölfflin faced when writing “Kunstgeschichtliche Grundbegriffe” (Principles of Art History). In order to have a profound understanding on Heinrich Wölfflin’s basic concepts of art history, the method “Text-Interpretation -Discourse” was applied to study his original works and related literature. The research strategies of this thesis were displayed as the following. First, the development of Wolffin’s historical thought was introduced by reviewing his whole writing carrier. And it would go over five basic concepts of art history in the text from Wofflin’s notes, letters and drafts of lectures. Others are notes taken by Wolfflin’s students and also the main theories or materials which related to the five concepts subsequently. Second, to deduce the true meaning of five concepts which Wolfflin advanced in the text, the author tried not only to go back the original to translate the key points for the five concepts from Germany to Chinese, but also to explore the possible issues they have covered. Finally, the author would present discussion of Wofflin’s academic place in the fields of art history and aesthetics, and responded to contemporary typical criticism from modern art history scholars.
