--- abstract: "The general issue to be addressed in a Mandel Lecture is how (or whether) art promotes human evolution or development. I shall understand the term \"art\" in its broadest connotations--perhaps broader than the American Society for Aesthetics would normally recognize: I shall understand art to include all artifice, all human invention. What I shall say will a fortiori include art in the narrower sense, but I don't intend to draw particular attention to the way my thesis applies to it." altloc: - http://www.tufts.edu/as/cogstud/papers/memeimag.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Dennett given: Daniel C honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1990 date_type: published datestamp: 1998-04-05 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/02/58 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 258 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/258/1/memeimag.htm full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:53:46 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 127-135 pubdom: FALSE publication: Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 8 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:26:08 subjects: - phil-logic - phil-sci succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Memes and the Exploitation of Imagination type: journalp userid: 38 volume: 48
