A Philosophical Enquiry Into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautifu | |
'One of the greatest essays ever written on art.' - The Guardian
Edmund Burke’s Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful is one of the most important works of aesthetics ever written. Whilst many writers have taken up their pen to write of ‘the beautiful’, Burke’s subject here was that quality he uniquely distinguished as ‘the sublime’ – an all-consuming force beyond beauty that compelled terror as much as rapture in all who beheld it. It was an analysis that would go on to inspire some of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment, including Immanuel Kant and Denis Diderot. The Routledge Classics edition presents the authoritative text of the first critical edition of Burke’s essay ever published, including a substantial critical and historical commentary.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797). A politician, philosopher and orator, Burke lived during a turbulent time in world history which saw revolutions in France (which appalled him) and America (which he welcomed). His most famous work is Reflections on the Revolution in France.
