| Summary: | When studying various aspects of art and aesthetic tastes, contemporary evolutionists have no doubt that art is part of human nature, we have it in the brain and in the genes, as we might say today. Following the path set out by Aristotle, Hume, Darwin andhis followers, evolutionary aesthetics (inspired by evolutionary psychology) develops inits three main branches: (1) anthropological-ethological (E. Dissanayake, 1890s Darwinian art theorists: H. Balfour, A.C. Haddon, F. Clay), (2) evolutionary aesthetics (Dutton and continuators) and (3) literary Darwinism (B. Boyd, J. Carroll, J.Gottschall, D.S. Wilson). The article examines the theoretical proposals of D. Dutton, theauthor of The Art Instinctas well as the views of his predecessor, E. Dissanayake. |
