Beschreibung:
Darwin famously proposed that sexual competition and courtship is (or at least was) the driving force of "art" production not only in animals, but also in humans. The present book is the first to reveal that Darwin's hypothesis, rather than amounting to a full-blown antidote to the humanist tradition, is actually strongly informed both by classical rhetoric and by English and German philosophical aesthetics, thereby Darwin's theory far richer and more interesting for the understanding of poetry and song.
Introduction1. Competitive Courtship and Aesthetic Judgment/Choice: Darwin's Model of the Arts2. The Arts as Promoters of Social Cooperation and Cohesion3. Engagement in the Arts as Ontogenetic Self-(Trans-)Formation4. A Cooptation Model of the Evolution of the Human Arts: The Special Role of Play Behavior, Technology, and Symbolic Cognition
