In The Sublime in Modern Philosophy: Aesthetics, Ethics, and
Nature, Emily Brady takes a fresh look at the sublime and shows why
it endures as a meaningful concept in contemporary philosophy. In a
reassessment of historical approaches, the first part of the book
identifies the scope and value of the sublime in eighteenth-century
philosophy (with a focus on Kant), nineteenth-century philosophy
and Romanticism, and early wilderness aesthetics. The second part
examines the sublime's contemporary significance through its
relationship to the arts; its position with respect to other
aesthetic categories involving mixed or negative emotions, such as
tragedy; and its place in environmental aesthetics and ethics. Far
from being an outmoded concept, Brady argues that the sublime is a
distinctive aesthetic category which reveals an important, if
sometimes challenging, aesthetic-moral relationship with the
natural world.
