A Philosophical Inquiry Into The Origins Of Our Ideas Of The Sublime And Beautiful

""A Philosophical Inquiry Into The Origins Of Our Ideas Of The Sublime And Beautiful"" is a book written by Edmund Burke, a philosopher and statesman from the 18th century. In this work, Burke explores the concepts of the sublime and the beautiful and their origins in human perception and experience. He argues that the sublime is associated with feelings of awe, terror, and transcendence, while the beautiful is associated with pleasure, harmony, and symmetry. Burke also examines how these ideas are expressed in art, literature, and architecture, and how they have evolved over time. Through his analysis, Burke seeks to understand the nature of human perception and the role that aesthetic experience plays in shaping our understanding of the world around us. This book is considered a seminal work in the field of aesthetics and has had a significant influence on subsequent philosophical and artistic movements.THIS 166 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works Of Edmund Burke V1, by Edmund Burke.
