Recenzii
Provides a brief introduction to major areas of inquiry: whether the pursuit of aesthetic stimulation is driven by pleasure or need, how aesthetic pursuit may have been conditioned in prehistory, how aesthetic value is connected to reproductive success, how our proclivity for decoration is rooted in a biological need to signal fitness and social status, and how aesthetic behavior is at the biological, psychological, and neurological foundation of the human species.
Not only informative and thoroughly interdisciplinary, but enjoyable to read.
The Aesthetic Animal compiles interesting results about artistic and aesthetic behaviors and frames them in an evolutionary perspective.
The Aesthetic Animal by Henrik Høgh-Olesen (Aarhus U., Denmark) is the best book I've ever read on the evolutionary origins of art. Incredibly concise. Required reading for anybody interested in beauty.
