The Beauty of Chaos: Denis Dutton: A Darwinian theory of beauty

Denis Dutton: A Darwinian theory of beauty

Hi,

How do we feel beauty?
What is considered beautiful?

TED 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.

Cheers
