Abstract

For many centuries the question of sublime was strictly interwoven with the question of beauty. Modern sublime, in particular romantic sublime, arises when the fate of beauty and that of sublime breack away.

This article’s goal is an attempt to answer the following questions:

  1. Which is the relation between beauty and sublime?
  2. How the concept of sublime changes between 16th and 17th Century?
  3. How Edmund Burke develops the idea of a physiology of the sublime?
  4. What happens in the transition of the sublime from the classicist tradition to Romanticism and how are his developments in late Modernity?
