Download or read book The Seductions of Darwin written by Matthew Rampley and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surge of evolutionary and neurological analyses of art and its effects raises questions of how art, culture, and the biological sciences influence one another, and what we gain in applying scientific methods to the interpretation of artwork. In this insightful book, Matthew Rampley addresses these questions by exploring key areas where Darwinism, neuroscience, and art history intersect. Taking a scientific approach to understanding art has led to novel and provocative ideas about its origins, the basis of aesthetic experience, and the nature of research into art and the humanities. Rampley’s inquiry examines models of artistic development, the theories and development of aesthetic response, and ideas about brain processes underlying creative work. He considers the validity of the arguments put forward by advocates of evolutionary and neuroscientific analysis, as well as its value as a way of understanding art and culture. With the goal of bridging the divide between science and culture, Rampley advocates for wider recognition of the human motivations that drive inquiry of all types, and he argues that our engagement with art can never be encapsulated in a single notion of scientific knowledge. Engaging and compelling, The Seductions of Darwin is a rewarding look at the identity and development of art history and its complicated ties to the world of scientific thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution in Science, Philosophy, and Art: Popular Lectures and Discussions Before the Brooklyn Ethical Association The doctrine of Evolution, representing as it does Nature's uniform method whereby all progressive changes are accomplished, whether in Physics, Biology, Psychology, Sociology, or Ethics, is susceptible of an infinite variety of expository illustrations. The present volume, which is the natural successor of previous courses of lectures before the Brooklyn Ethical Association on Evolution and Sociology, exemplifies the workings of this universal law in some of the special departments of Science, Philosophy, and Art The seventeen lectures herewith presented may be naturally segregated under these several heads. To the department of Science belongs the able exposition and critique of the contributions of Alfred Russel Wallace, the co-discoverer with Charles Darwin of the law of Natural Selection, to the doctrine of Evolution, by our foremost American biologist, Prof. Edward D. Cope, together with the monographs on the evolution of Chemistry, Electric and Magnetic Physics, Botany, Zoology, and Optics, and Mr. Potts's interesting discussion of the development of Form and Color in Nature. To the department of Philosophy may properly be assigned the exposition of the life, work, and philosophical system of Prof. Ernst Haeckel, the eminent German evolutionist, in the lecture of Mr. Wake-man and the appended discussion, Dr. Abbot's exposition of The Scientific Method, Mr. Underwood's able presentation of the principles of Herbert Spencer's Synthetic Philosophy. Dr. Janes's application of the philosophy of Evolution to the Art of Life, and the noteworthy discussion of The Doctrine of Evolution, its Scope and Influence, by Prof. John Fiske, our ablest American exponent of this doctrine in its ethical and philosophical aspects. The final outcome of these lectures constitutes, it is believed, a complete refutation of the charge of materialism sometimes unjustly made against Mr. Spencer and the whole modern school of evolutionists. This is a matter of great interest and profound significance, to which we commend the thoughtful attention of the reader and reviewer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The peacock's tail makes me sick!' said Charles Darwin. That's because the theory of evolution as adaptation can't explain why nature is so beautiful. It took the concept of sexual selection for Darwin to explain that, a process that has more to do with aesthetic taste than adaptive fitness. Survival of the Beautiful is a revolutionary new examination of the interplay of beauty, art, and culture in evolution. Taking inspiration from Darwin's observation that animals have a natural aesthetic sense, philosopher and musician David Rothenberg probes why animals, humans included, have an innate appreciation for beauty - and why nature is, indeed, beautiful.

Download or read book Picturing Knowledge written by Brian S. Baigrie and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1996-05-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional concept of scientific knowledge places a premium on thinking, not visualizing. Scientific illustrations are still generally regarded as devices that serve as heuristic aids when reasoning breaks down. When scientific illustration is not used in this disparaging sense as a linguistic aid, it is most often employed as a metaphor with no special visual content. What distinguishes pictorial devices as resources for doing science, and the special problems that are raised by the mere presence of visual elements in scientific treatises, tends to be overlooked. The contributors to this volume examine the historical and philosophical issues concerning the role that scientific illustration plays in the creation of scientific knowledge. They regard both text and picture as resources that scientists employ in their practical activities, their value as scientific resources deriving from their ability to convey information.
