Publisher's Synopsis
""The Beautiful and the Sublime"" is a philosophical treatise written by John Steinfort Kedney that explores the concepts of beauty and sublimity. The book delves into the nature of these emotions, their origins, and how they are perceived by individuals. Kedney argues that beauty and sublimity are two distinct emotions that are often conflated, and that they have different effects on the human psyche. He also discusses the objectivity of beauty, questioning whether it is a universal concept or a subjective experience. Through a thorough analysis of various works of art, literature, and philosophy, Kedney provides a nuanced understanding of the aesthetic experience and its role in human life. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, aesthetics, and the nature of human emotion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
