碩士 === 南華大學 === 美學與藝術管理研究所 === 91 === 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.
