We call sublime those things and experiences supposed to be the
very best. But what if the best actually leads to inequality and
exploitation? Williams critiques the sublime over its long history
and in recent returns to sublime nature and technologies. Deploying
a new critical method that draws on process philosophy, he shows
how the sublime has always led to inequality. This holds true even
where it underpins ideas of cosmopolitan enlightenment, and even
when refined by Burke, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Zizek.
Against the unjust legacies of the traditional sublime, James
Williams defends a new, anarchist sublime: multiple,
self-destructive and temporary; opposed to any idea of highest
value to be shared by all but always imposed on the powerless.
