Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful

Intends to propound the author's theory that the sublime and the beautiful should be regarded as wholly separate states - the first, an experience inspired by fear and awe, the second an expression of pleasure and serenity. This work offers an account of our sensory, imaginative and judgmental processes and their relation to artistic appreciation.

Intentioneaza sa propuna teoria autorului potrivit careia sublimul si frumosul ar trebui privite ca stari complet separate - prima, o experienta inspirata de frica si veneratie, a doua o expresie a placerii si seninatatii. Aceasta lucrare ofera o descriere a proceselor noastre senzoriale, imaginative si de judecata si a relatiei lor cu aprecierea artistica.
