Edmund Burke

A Philosophical Enquiry Into the Sublime and Beautiful

And Other Pre-Revolutionary Writings
Herausgeber: Womersley, David

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
