The past 15 years have seen an increase in interest in the martial arts by philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition. Evidence includes two collections of essays and a book-length study of the Asian martial arts from the perspective of western philosophy. In this article I summarize some of the most significant recent contributions to the philosophical aesthetics of the martial arts and suggest further areas for development. I begin in the first section with some general considerations regarding the martial arts as arts. In the sections that follow, I consider the martial arts in conjunction with three established areas of philosophical aesthetic inquiry: dance, sport, and everyday aesthetics. In the final section I offer some additional areas for development.

武术美学

在过去的 15 年里，英美传统的哲学家们对武术的兴趣增加了。证据包括两本散文集和一本从西方哲学的角度对亚洲武术进行的书长研究。在这篇文章中，我总结了最近对武术哲学美学的一些最重要的贡献，并提出了进一步的发展领域。我从第一部分开始，对作为艺术的武术进行了一些一般性考虑。在接下来的部分中，我将武术与哲学美学探究的三个既定领域相结合：舞蹈、运动和日常美学。在最后一部分，我提供了一些额外的开发领域。
