Sublime Art: Towards an Aesthetics of the Future

By Stephen Zepke

Book Overview

Stephen Zepke tracks the sublime art movement from its beginnings in Kant to its flowering in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He shows that the idea of sublime art waxes and wanes in the work of Jean-Fran ois Lyotard, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, Jacques Ranci re and the recent Speculative Realism movement. With it, a visionary politics of art seeks to give it the most creative power possible: the power to overcome our conditions and embrace the unknown.
