Abstract

The main aim of my work of research has been to provide a reformulation of the fundamental coordinates of Evolutionary Aesthetics, in light of the revised conceptual toolkit provided by the so-called "Extended Evolutionary Synthesis” (Pigliucci-Mueller 2010). In doing so, I have engaged with a significant amount of literature published in recent years in the field of Evolutionary Aesthetics. Through a careful review of the literature, I have shown that the variety of perspectives and lines of interpretation developed up to the present in the field of Evolutionary Aesthetics (mainly inspired by the research program named “Evolutionary Psychology”, EP) lacks effective explanatory power. I have attempted, therefore, to elaborate a kind of new “basic grammar” for Evolutionary Aesthetics, taking into account the recent adjustments, critical reviews and conceptual extensions of the Modern Evolutionary Synthesis.
