Publisher's Synopsis

""A Philosophical Inquiry Into The Origins Of Our Ideas Of The Sublime And Beautiful"" is a groundbreaking philosophical work by Edmund Burke. This book delves into the origins of our ideas of the sublime and beautiful, exploring how these concepts have been shaped by our experiences and perceptions of the world around us. Burke argues that the sublime is a quality that inspires awe and terror, while the beautiful is a quality that inspires pleasure and admiration. He explores the ways in which these concepts have been used in art, literature, and culture, and how they have been used to evoke emotional responses in people. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, aesthetics, or the history of ideas. It is a classic work that has had a profound influence on the way we think about beauty and the sublime.THIS 166 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works Of Edmund Burke V1, by Edmund Burke.
