The Art Instinct
I love a good conversation, even when I have nothing to do with it! On Wednesday evening you can catch a convo about
“The Art Instinct: Beauty, Pleasure, & Human Evolution” in the beautiful Central Library without having to say a word. Dennis Dutton, the embodiment of a bookish fellow — the editor of Arts & Letters Daily, a Philosophy Professor, and a New Zealand gentleman (born in CA) from a family of bookstore owners — will talk with Michael Shermer, from The Skeptic Society, about art and evolutionary science for Central Library’s ongoing [A Loud] lectures, readings, performances and discussions series, this Wednesday. Dutton thinks that our tastes and the arts have something to do with Darwinian natural selection – and he just published a book ALL about it. Oh, dOoo go on…
