TED Talks 2010: A Darwinian Theory of Beauty by Denis Dutton
Geschreven op 17-11-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Communicatie, GezondheidTED collaborates with animator Andrew Park to illustrate Denis Dutton’s provocative theory on beauty — that art, music and other beautiful things, far from being simply “in the eye of the beholder,” are a core part of human nature with deep evolutionary origins.
Denis Dutton is a philosophy professor and the editor of Arts & Letters Daily. In his book The Art Instinct, he suggests that humans are hard-wired to seek beauty.
