Paleoaesthetics and the Practice of Paleontology - Elements in the Philosophy of Biology
Turner, Derek D. (Connecticut College)
This Element argues that knowledge of something's history makes a difference to how we engage with it aesthetically. This means that investigation of the deep past can contribute to aesthetic aims. Aesthetic engagement with fossils and landscapes is also crucial to explaining paleontology's epistemic successes.
