AB - In this paper, I provide suggestions on the contribution that the mirror neuron system may have on our understanding of fine arts and in what way. For this purpose, I first briefly introduce what mirror neurons, and then examine the levels and the ways in which mirror responses are involved in the appreciation of fine arts. Afterwards, I introduce the general discussion on the understanding mirror neurons and then present my thoughts about what contribution the mirror neuron system may make towards our understanding of fine arts. I argue that the mirror neuron system enables the embodied understanding of the formal and the expressive properties, as well as the narrative contents of artworks. Also, I argue that the mirror neuron system encourages us to change our perspective on the identity of the formal and the expressive properties of artworks along with the relationship between artworks and appreciators.
