Citation
Description The first part of the chapter looks at the fundamental misunderstaning between aestheticians and biologists arising from their different understanding of the concept of beauty in relation to the concept of perception, usefulness, proportionality and symmetry (using the work of Edmund Burke). The second part of the chapter focuses on the history of the biological questions related to aesthetic phenomena in nature.
