A new cultural theory of aesthetics: genes, memes, symbols, and simulacra
Lanham: Lexington Books (2023)
Abstract
This book develops a theory of aesthetics that criticizes scientific and philosophical reductionism that denies the importance of culture in art and taste, but its theory accepts some fundamental aspects of Neo-Darwinist theory of culture by addressing points of convergence among the notions of meme, simulacrum, and symbol.Author's Profile
