| | Sublime (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For Kant, the sublime represented a feeling derived from aesthetic judgment, in which we realize the limits of our human nature: that is, we realize we cannot conceive of something because it is part of the noumenal realm. | | | In aesthetics, the sublime (from the Latin sublimis (exalted)) is the quality of transcendent greatness, whether physical, moral, intellectual or artistic. | | | Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant both investigated the subject (compare Burke’s Essay on the Sublime and Beautiful, 1756) and both distinguished the sublime from the beautiful. |

| | But a formula which defines the sublime in cerebral terms alone may be as much a sign of the deterioration of the soul in the eighteenth century, as the equation of the term with the sensual is a sign of the deterioration of our language in the twentieth century. | | | Actually, the opposite is the case: Burke's and Kant's theories of the sublime sprang from world-views in which what one thought of God's relationship to man determined the very legitimacy of aesthetics as a field of inquiry. | | | In the context of the dynamically sublime, then, it is fear of God in the traditional sense - before He became dynamically sublime - which Kant finds analogous to making a graven image. |

| | Jean-François Lyotard [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | This rejection is manifested in the philosophy of paganism that preceded Lyotard's postmodernism. | | | Lyotard's philosophy of language and justice is most fully developed through the concept of the differend, in the book of the same name. | | | Just as pagan religions believe in a number of different gods rather than just one God, Lyotard's pagan philosophy represents a concern for pluralism and multiplicity (terms he uses synonymously to oppose the idea of universality). |

| | For Husserl, it is synonymous with the Greek idea of a universal science, for Heidegger, with the Greek notion of philosophy as being attuned to the wonder of Being, and for Patocka, with the Platonic project of a tendance of the soul. | | | His, in my eyes, admirable book on the "Analytic of the Sublime" is further testimony to this because what it establishes about Kant's notion of the sublime has little bearing on Lyotard's own attempt to make the concept of the sublime fruitful for his understanding of what contemporary art is about. | | | Since I know that you are working on a book on Kant's aestethics and since the sublime has been somewhat of a topos common to recent French philosophy (Lyotard, Nancy, Lacoue-Labarthe, Derrida) and American theory (de Man, Hertz, Fry, Guerlac), I would like to relate this to some other current concerns. |

| | Kant, Immanuel -- Aesthetics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | This raises the question of whether the mathematical and dynamically sublime are in fact radically different, both in themselves as experiences, and in their relation to 'moral culture'. | | | Theoretical philosophy has as its topic the cognition of sensible nature; practical philosophy has as its topic the possibility of moral action in and on sensible nature. | | | And judgment is investigated by the critical inquiry into those types of judgment in which the a priori principle of judgment is apparent: on the beautiful, on the sublime, and on teleology. |

| | Freeman, "Frankenstein with Kant" |
| | Terror, for Burke "in all cases whatsoever, either more openly or latently, the ruling principle of the sublime," is currently employed to describe the effect produced by the texts of contemporary French theorists, especially Derrida. | | | By aligning the lightning, the monster, and the sublime, the novel shows that Longinus's "genuine power" -- poetic or otherwise -- may produce devastation as easily as beauty, and that the sublime has a power beauty does not have, one that has no necessary connection to the realms of ethics or aesthetics. | | | On the one hand, it is a testing out of the shifting boundary between philosophy, personified by Kant's Critique of Judgment, and literature, represented by Shelley's Frankenstein; on the other, it investigates what rebounds from these two texts: what comes back, or returns. |

| | This philosophy must rest upon the principles of the unity of all Spirit, the brotherhood of all men, discarnate and incarnate, the facts of survival after death and communication with the Spirit world, and the concept of eternal progress. | | | These are some of the facts upon which the philosophy of Spiritualism is founded, and the great significance of the Spiritualist movement becomes doubly clear as we realise that its philosophy not only prepares man for his future life in heaven, but also for his future life on earth. | | | In answering this great fundamental question, Evans points out in his philosophy of life that “apart from human limitations there is neither evil nor good. |

| | Style: A short guide to the theory of the sublime |
| | Theoretical problems with the sublime as a research category in linguistics are complicated by the fact that we have only one archetypical text of the sublime--PseudoLonginos' treatise--containing examples taken mainly from literature (broadly understood). | | | Indeed, if we look at the bibliography of the sublime in English, we can even observe a kind of renaissance: there has been an abundance of theoretical and critical, aesthetic, and general philosophical texts dealing with the sublime since the end of the 70s. | | | The third grand work of the sublime, Kant's Third Critique, deals mainly with the sublime in nature and, additionally, in architecture. |

| | Imagination Arendt expresses her extreme confidence in that faculty.[14] She declares, “the imagination is the condition of all knowledge.” And this is perhaps why the sublime finally goes missing from her design; in Kant, no amount of imagination prepares for the sublime and it exemplifies nothing. | | | Alongside de Man’s comprehensive account of reading in the mathematical sublime this narrative analysis of the dynamic closes the book on the absolute priority of the imagination within the Critique of Judgment. | | | We are clearly not dealing with mental categories but with tropes, and the story Kant tells us is an allegorical tale… It is the story of an exchange, of a negotiation in which powers are lost and gained in an economy of sacrifice and recuperation…. |

| | Occultism, my brothers, is that aspect of natural philosophy which deals with the hid, secret wisdom of nature's own heart as that wisdom is formulated in the archaic Wisdom-Religion of mankind; and theosophy, even as it is taught today, includes this gupta-vidya or occultism in what the ancient inhabitants of Hindustan called the brahma-vidya. | | | In times far, far past -- so long bygone that men have lost, at least in the Occident, all recollection of it -- there was taught on earth a sublime philosophy, a formulation in human tongue of the very structure, operations, and nature of the universal mother herself. | | | This ancient philosophy, this ancient wisdom-religion of mankind, bore various names in different ages and among different peoples. |
