{"product_id":"the-sublime-melissa-mcbay-merritt-9781108438704","title":"The Sublime","description":"This Element considers Kant's account of the sublime in the context of his predecessors both in the Anglophone and German rationalist traditions. Since Kant says with evident endorsement that 'we call sublime that which is absolutely great' (Critique of the Power of Judgment, 5:248) and nothing in nature can in fact be absolutely great (it can only figure as such, in certain presentations), Kant concludes that strictly speaking what is sublime can only be the human calling (Bestimmung) to perfect our rational capacity according to the standard of virtue that is thought through the moral law. The Element takes account of the difference between respect and admiration as the two main varieties of sublime feeling, and concludes by considering the role of Stoicism in Kant's account of the sublime, particularly through the channel of Seneca.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melissa McBay Merritt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108438709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108438704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Melissa McBay Merritt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120830771455,"sku":"9781108438704","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_531233f3-0031-48cc-9fcb-d2e86335244c.jpg?v=1687416522","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sublime-melissa-mcbay-merritt-9781108438704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
