Book excerpt: The noun sublime describes a subject that is without equal, that is supreme or of great moral, artistic orspiritual value.More simply, F. Schiller uses the notion of sublime as a tool available to anyone for overcoming all theinconvenient aspects of the experiences we must go through in life. Mere submission to power is not the maingoal of Humanity, one should always show grace when obliging, and dignity when being the one who is obliged.However, for him, the sublime is mostly possible with a determined inclination towards the good and thebeautiful. To sublimate also means to direct any energy available to something beneficial.The human being can prove himself great in fortune, and sublime in misfortune.(Further comments on the Sublime)

A wise and brilliant guide to transforming the self and our society. In her powerful new book, critically acclaimed author Melissa Febos examines the narratives women are told about what it means to be female and what it takes to free oneself from them. When her body began to change at eleven years old, Febos understood immediately that her meaning to other people had changed with it. By her teens, she defined herself based on these perceptions and by the romantic relationships she threw herself into headlong. Over time, Febos increasingly questioned the stories she'd been told about herself and the habits and defenses she'd developed over years of trying to meet others' expectations. The values she and so many other women had learned in girlhood did not prioritize their personal safety, happiness, or freedom, and she set out to reframe those values and beliefs. Blending investigative reporting, memoir, and scholarship, Febos charts how she and others like her have reimagined relationships and made room for the anger, grief, power, and pleasure women have long been taught to deny. Written with Febos' characteristic precision, lyricism, and insight, Girlhood is a philosophical treatise, an anthem for women, and a searing study of the transitions into and away from girlhood, toward a chosen self.
Book Synopsis The Possibility of the Sublime by : Jane Forsey
Download or read book The Possibility of the Sublime written by Jane Forsey and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of the sublime, used to describe a particular kind of overwhelming or exhilarating aesthetic experience, has garnered a great deal of attention by philosophers, critical theorists and literary scholars. In the midst of this growing body of literature, Professor Jane Forsey published an article asking whether an aesthetic theory of the sublime is even possible, and argued provocatively in the negative. Claiming that efforts to explain the sublime inevitably result in theories that are either contradictory or incoherent, Forsey posed a challenge to anyone who takes the sublime seriously as an aesthetic category. This volume brings together an international slate of philosophers and scholars of the sublime, who have been invited to respond to, and critically engage with, Forsey’s article. Unlike other monographs and anthologies that deal broadly with the sublime in aesthetics, this collection examines specific conceptual problems with the very foundations of sublime theory in a manner that is tightly focused and rigorous. It represents a variety of approaches that defend the sublime, and concludes with an original response by Professor Forsey to her critics.

Book Synopsis The Textual Sublime by : Hugh J. Silverman
Download or read book The Textual Sublime written by Hugh J. Silverman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1990-01-05 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the question of deconstruction by asking what it is and discussing its alternatives. To what extent does deconstruction derive from a philosophical stance, and to what extent does it depend upon a set of strategies, moves, and rhetorical practices that result in criticism? Special attention is given to the formulations offered by Jacques Derrida (in relation to Heidegger's philosophy) and by Paul de Man (in relation to Kant's theory of the sublime and its implications for criticism). And what, in deconstructive terms, does it mean to translate from one textual corpus into another? Is it a matter of different theories of translation or of different practices? And what of difference itself? Does not difference already invoke the possibility of deconstruction's "others"? Althusser, Adorno, and Deleuze are offered as exemplary cases. The essays in this volume examine in detail these differences and alternatives. The Textual Sublime is particularly concerned with how a text (philosophical or literary) sets its own limits, borders, and margins, how it delimits what constitutes the text per se and how it invokes at the same time what is not determinately in the text. The textual sublime is that aspect of a text that deconstruction shows to be both an element of the text and what surpasses the text, what takes it outside itself (in view of alternatives and alterities) and what ties it to differing philosophical, rhetorical, historical, and critical practices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Essays: On the Sublime and Beautiful, and on Duelling It will be found that certain states of external nature excite in the minds which contemplate them the emotions of sublimity and beauty, and are called sublime and beautiful, because they are associated in various ways with sublime and beautiful states of the human mind. Many glimpses of this truth were seen by Plato and his followers. Dr. Hutcheson had a very vivid, but not a very distinct perception of it. His perception of it was not sufficiently distinct to show him that it pervades the whole subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Sublime in Modern Philosophy by : Emily Brady
Download or read book The Sublime in Modern Philosophy written by Emily Brady and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Sublime in Modern Philosophy: Aesthetics, Ethics, and Nature, Emily Brady takes a fresh look at the sublime and shows why it endures as a meaningful concept in contemporary philosophy. In a reassessment of historical approaches, the first part of the book identifies the scope and value of the sublime in eighteenth-century philosophy (with a focus on Kant), nineteenth-century philosophy and Romanticism, and early wilderness aesthetics. The second part examines the sublime's contemporary significance through its relationship to the arts; its position with respect to other aesthetic categories involving mixed or negative emotions, such as tragedy; and its place in environmental aesthetics and ethics. Far from being an outmoded concept, Brady argues that the sublime is a distinctive aesthetic category which reveals an important, if sometimes challenging, aesthetic-moral relationship with the natural world.
