Descripción
Sumario:This essay is concerned with modern and postmodern theories of the sublime and with a possible theological response to them. The essay first discusses the "modern sublime" (as typified in Kant) and the "postmodern sublime" (as typified in Jean-Luc Nancy), and shows how these versions of the sublime terminate in one or the other form of "pure immanence" and, hence, are not sublime in any standard sense of the term. The essay then argues, in a second part, for an aesthetic of the beautiful and the sublime based upon the theological doctrine of the analogy of being as articulated in the past century by Erich Przywara, S. J.
