Aesthetics after Darwin: The Multiple Origins and Functions of the Arts - Evolution, Cognition, and the Arts
Winfried Menninghaus
Darwin famously proposed that sexual competition is the driving force of ""art"" production not only in animals, but also in humans. This book reveals that Darwin's hypothesis, rather than amounting to a full-blown antidote to the humanist tradition, is actually informed by classical rhetoric and by English and German philosophical aesthetics.
