Vom Erhabenen

Der Traktat 'Peri Hypsous' und seine ästhetisch-religiöse Renaissance im 18. Jahrhundert

[On the Sublime: Longinus’ “Peri Hypsous” and its Aesthetic-Religious Renaissance in the 18th Century.]

Published in German.

The sublime describes an aesthetic experience of extraordinary intensity and depth. Martin Fritz uncovers the ethical and metaphysical components of the classical concept and traces the religious character it has acquired in the course of its modern rediscovery. By doing this, he establishes the sublime as an idea of pivotal relevance for the philosophy of religion.
