Darwin becomes art : aesthetic vision in the wake of Darwin: 1870-1920

Ridley, Hugh

نظرة عامة

\"This book analyses Darwin's influence on art and the effect of his science on experiences of beauty. The first chapter discusses Darwin's great forerunner, Alexander von Humboldt, and his contribution to thinking about the relationship between science and beauty. The second examines the public reception of Darwin in Germany, focusing on the German Naturalists and the important scientific controversies which Darwin's idea provoked. It shows the political use of science (Hèackel and Virchow) and foreshadows present-day debates between Darwinism and Creationism, science and an idealized view of nature.\"--back cover.
