The sublime is an emotion or mental state evoked by grandeur, vastness, and power. The author traces the history of the concept of the sublime from its origins in Ancient Greece to its development and interpretation across the centuries. The author also extrapolates the concept of the sublime into the present day, anticipating aesthetics based on a return to a more ânaturalâ and less modern world. The author claims we are currently experiencing a revival of the trend toward the acceptance of sensory stimuli in art and literature, and that we are becoming more aware of and in tune with nature. This book provides a detailed analysis of the sublime and its various tangents, including the author's own new philosophical insights on the subject.
