Denis Dutton in his conference called “A
Darwinian theory of beauty” explains to us a definition of beauty, breaking every
theory about this topic, especially the cultural answer that we made of the
sense of the beauty. What is beauty? And why is that beauty? This is the
principal questions of his theory. He use some Darwin theory, for support his
idea.
He said that we found the things beauty not
for a cultural reason, but we know what beauty is, genetically. Darwin says
that the species, made a natural selection for survive during the time. So in
this genetical information, and made like the same process, the human keep the
information of nice things that made us feel pleasure. So Dutton attribute the
taste like result of reading this information inside our minds.
I think that we can’t determinate that the
beauty is just the result of a taste keep during generations. The taste, or the
judgment of what is beauty or not, have a very important fact; we (like different
humans) don’t think the same of the things. If for some reason exist a common
beauty, also exist a alternative beauty and this last, for some people can be
their only kind of beauty.
