内容説明

Exploring the relationship between the universe and human aesthetic appreciation, this survey uncovers new and unexpected links between the arts and the sciences. It draws upon a range of subjects to explain how the appearance of the universe has coloured the development of philosophy and mythology; how our evolutionary heritage has fashioned our artistic tastes; and how our fascination with certain patterns of sound and colour can be understood. In telling the story of human creativity and art, the author considers such diverse topics as our instinct for language, the origins of life and death, the significance of computer art, the origin of the constellations and the benefits of discovering life on other worlds.
