Ep.19. Is Art Dead? Exploring the Evolution and Future of Psychological Aesthetics

"Recent Trends in the Psychological Study of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts" by Colin Martindale This academic paper, published in the journal Empirical Studies of the Arts, is a comprehensive review of the trends in the psychological study of aesthetics, creativity, and the arts over the past 25 years. The author, Colin Martindale, argues that the field has undergone a "renaissance" since its decline during the behaviourism era, moving from psychodynamic and neo-behaviourist foundations to cognitive, neuropsychological, and evolutionary approaches. The article explores key historical influences, critically evaluates influential theories and researchers, and provides a detailed overview of recent developments in various disciplines, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, and literary criticism.
