Prior to the eighteenth century, and before Edmund Burke’s foundational treatise, the sublime was understood as beauty and greatness beyond measure. Subsequently, awe, the emotion classically associated with the sublime, was given new psychological depth and even physiological dimensions, bringing fear and the grotesque into aesthetic considerations of the sublime. In Kantian, the sublime exists beyond the realm of the sensible: beyond form and purpose, but not beyond morality. How might the nature of the sublime differ in relation to visual arts, music, religious experience, nature itself? What can religion and philosophy, as well as psychology and neuroscience, teach us about the distinction between an experience of pleasure and the ecstasy of the sublime?
