This work proposes a coevolutionary theory of aesthetics that encompasses both biotic and human arts. Anthropocentric perspectives in aesthetics prevent the recognition of the ontological complexity of the aesthetics of nature, and the aesthetic agency of many non-human organisms. The process of evaluative coevolution is shared by all biotic advertisements. I propose that art consists of a form of communication that coevolves with its own evaluation. Art and art history are population phenomena. I expand Arthur Danto’s Artworld concept to any aesthetic population of producers and evaluators. Current concepts of art cannot exclusively circumscribe the human arts from many forms of non-human biotic art. Without assuming an arbitrarily anthropocentric perspective, any concept of art will need to engage with biodiversity, and either recognize many instances of biotic advertisements as art, or exclude some instances of human art. Coevolutionary aesthetic theory provides a heuristic account of aesthetic change in both human and biotic artworlds, including the coevolutionary origin of aesthetic properties and aesthetic value within artworlds. Restructuring aesthetics, art criticism, and art history without human beings at the organizing centers of these disciplines stimulate new progress in our understanding of art, and the unique human contributions to aesthetics and aesthetic diversity.

人类与生物艺术世界中的协同进化美学

这项工作提出了一种包含生物艺术和人类艺术的美学协同进化理论。美学中的以人类为中心的观点阻碍了对自然美学的本体论复杂性的认识,以及许多非人类有机体的审美机构。所有生物广告都共享评价性协同进化的过程。我认为艺术由一种与自身评价共同进化的交流形式组成。艺术和艺术史是人口现象。我将 Arthur Danto 的艺术世界概念扩展到任何审美人群的生产者和评估者。当前的艺术概念不能完全将人类艺术与多种非人类生物艺术形式分开。在不采取任意以人类为中心的观点的情况下,任何艺术概念都需要涉及生物多样性,要么承认许多生物广告的实例是艺术,要么排除一些人类艺术的实例。协同进化美学理论为人类和生物艺术世界中的审美变化提供了一种启发式的解释,包括艺术世界中审美属性和审美价值的协同进化起源。在这些学科的组织中心,在没有人类的情况下重构美学、艺术批评和艺术史,激发了我们对艺术理解的新进展,以及人类对美学和审美多样性的独特贡献。包括艺术世界中审美属性和审美价值的共同进化起源。在这些学科的组织中心,在没有人类的情况下重构美学、艺术批评和艺术史,激发了我们对艺术理解的新进展,以及人类对美学和审美多样性的独特贡献。包括艺术世界中审美属性和审美价值的共同进化起源。在这些学科的组织中心,在没有人类的情况下重构美学、艺术批评和艺术史,激发了我们对艺术理解的新进展,以及人类对美学和审美多样性的独特贡献。
