Sublime Understanding
About
"In Sublime Understanding, Kirk Pillow makes sublimity the center of an alternative conception of aesthetic response and interpretation. He draws an aesthetics of sublimity from Kant's Critique of Judgment, bolsters it with help from Hegel, and establishes its place in a broadened conception of human understanding (thus differing from the many scholars who use Hegel to dismiss Kant or vice versa).
He argues that sublime reflection provides a model for an interpretive response to the uncanny Other outside our conceptual grasp."--BOOK JACKET.
