On The Sublime And Beautiful (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425465070)

""On the Sublime and Beautiful"" is a philosophical treatise written by Edmund Burke, first published in 1757. The book explores the concepts of beauty and sublimity, and how they are perceived by humans. Burke argues that beauty is associated with qualities such as smoothness, delicacy, and gracefulness, while sublimity is associated with qualities such as grandeur, vastness, and power. He also discusses the role of the imagination in creating these perceptions and the emotional responses they evoke. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of aesthetics and has influenced many subsequent philosophers and writers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of beauty and the sublime.THIS 128 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Edmund Burke: V24 Harvard Classics, by Edmund Burke.
