S'està carregant… A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757)de Edmund Burke
![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This book by Burke made me to think more about Aesthetics, such a great introduction to the Philosophy of Aesthetics. Burke wants to enquire if he can categorize aesthetics rationally and tries to explore thoroughly. I loved his writing on Fear, Fear robs us from everything, our rationally is suspended. It might be the object of our attention, nothing else will be on our mind. I would recommend this to someone who wants to take time to think about aesthetics, emotions.

If you are into philosophy enough to find this obscure book on your own then you probably would be better off not reading it. It is a very well written, very well thought out work, but at points can be extremely repetitive and short.There are sections where you would hope that Burke would go into vast detail but he only offer a paragraph or two while there are sections that continue on for pages leaving you to question,"why?"At times i also found Burke sounding as if he was giving a scientific report on things that in truth can not now nor have ever been able to be comprehended by science let alone measured.I found part five, which dealt with the words very thought intriguing, it however was not worth reading through the other four to obtain. Part two section two on terror highly quotable as well as all of Part one.Overall I would say if you do find this book and would like to give it a go, Read part one then skip to part five and rest your worry because you are not missing anything.

An eloquent and sometimes even erotic book, the Philosophical Enquiry was long dismissed as a piece of mere juvenilia. However, Burke's analysis of the relationship between emotion, beauty, and art form is now recognized as not only an important and influential work of aesthetic theory, but also one of the first major works in European literature on the Sublime, a subject that has fascinated thinkers from Kant and Coleridge to the philosophers and critics of today. ""I'm gratified you're. keeping Burke's text on the Sublime available in an inexpensive edition. Thanks again for keeping it easil No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

De modo que as emoções não são diretamente relacionadas a crenças, situações verdadeiras, percepções empíricas não-mediadas e conceitos bem determinados. Mas sim, surgem do entreter de pensamentos, por meio da imaginação, ou em conformidade com essas crenças, situações e percepções.
O prazer da similitude é o que mais nos agrada a imaginação. Pela experiência e observação, desenvolvemos a partir de uma propensão universal, as diferenças no gosto, que são de refinamento do julgamento. Não sendo algo simples o gosto se forma a partir dos prazeres primários dos sentidos, dos prazeres secundários da imaginação e das conclusões da faculdade racional. E melhora por aumento de atenção, conhecimento e exercício frequente.
Burke trata do sublime, a mais potente paixão de auto-conservação, fundada na dor e perigo, mas sem efetivação do malefício, por distância e posição de segurança. Um horror agradável, tranquilidade colorida de terror, o sublime é um deleite, ou seja, uma emoção positiva não fundada no prazer. Surge também de ideias terríveis e fantásticas; estas quando determinadas e detalhadas demais, por exemplo, por pintores, ganham um tom ridículo, grotesco, incapaz de uma paixão séria. Já na poesia o efeito é conseguido, pois mantém-se a indeterminação e o obscuro que obtém o efeito do magnífico. No muito grande e muito pequeno, há tal ocupação da alma, quando da perplexidade-assombro, que a mente é preenchida e isso com algum terror. Esse é o grau mais alto do sublime, a antecipar nossa razão que não acha mais a unidade. Os outros níveis sendo a admiração, a reverência e o respeito.
Ademais: os críticos procuraram as regras da arte e nelas as regras para certas paixões.
"But art can never give the rules that make an art. This is, I believe, the reason why artists in general, and poests principally, have been confined in so narrow a circle; they have been rather imitators of one another than of nature; and this with so faithful an uniformity, and to so remote an antiquity, that it is hard to say who gave the first model." (p. 91)
