Evolutionary aesthetics is a naturalistic perspective on the evolutionary explanation of art and beauty. Stephen Davies is one of the most influential figures in this field. He, as a philosopher, especially in his book, The Artful Species, introduces and criticizes the various theories presented in the evolutionary aesthetics research program. But finally, none of them meets his expectation while he is believe that art and beauty are products of the process of biological evolution. Ultimately he concludes the skepticism is justified in this regard. At the end of the article, it will be shown that, contrary to Davies's view, adopting a pluralistic position is compatible with his critique, and also it eliminates the need for a skeptical position.
