SUBLIME (Lat. sublimis, exalted)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 1062 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SUBLIME (Lat. sublimis, exalted) , in
aesthetics
 ; a
term
  applied to the quality of transcendant greatness, whether
physical
 , moral, intellectual or artistic. It is specially used for a greatness with which nothing else can be compared and which is beyond all possibility of calculation or measurement. Psychologically the effect of the perception of the sublime is a feeling of awe or helplessness. The first study of the value of the sublime is the
treatise
  ascribed to Longinus (q.v.), On the Sublime (strictly IIEpi vovs).
Burke
  and
Kant
  both investigated the subject (cf.
Burke
 's
Essay
  on the Sublime and Beautiful, 1756) and both distinguished the sublime from the beautiful. Later writers tend to include the sublime in the beautiful (see
AESTHETICS
 ).
