Karl Möbius: Aesthetik der Tiere (1905)
NTM International Journal of History and Ethics of Natural Sciences, Technology and Medicine 5 (1):160-173 (1997)
| Abstract | In December 1905 the zoologist Karl Möbius, director of the Berlin Museum of Natural History, spoke on the leading ideas of his theory of the animals' aesthetical value to the members of the famous Mittwochs-Gesellschaft . He wanted to demonstrate how the mysterious aesthetical effect of living creatures could be explained in an empirical way by biological and psychological facts. Möbius' aesthetic of animals is an important part of the antimetaphysical tradition of the German 19th century aesthetic of nature. Möbius continued the aesthetical work of the naturalists A. von Humboldt (1769â1859) and M.J. Schleiden (1804â1881). His empirically founded aesthetic is similar to that of the English philosopher and statesman E. Burke (1729â1797) and to that of the philosopher, physicist and psychologist G.T. Fechner (1801â1887) | |||||||||
