In this article I argue that any naturalistic aesthetic implicitly assume two fundamental premises as a methodological principle: that (i.) human nature is conditioned, limited and made possible by the natural biological structure of the human organism, and that (ii.) human culture — in this case specifically artistic creation and aesthetic experience — is constituted within the limits posed and made possible by the human organism. I will point out some of the implications that this understanding of human nature and this cultural ontology have for aesthetics as a philosophical discipline in the non-dualistic conceptual framework of philosophical naturalism.
