The Kantian Sublime and the Revelation of Freedom

In this book Robert R. Clewis shows how certain crucial concepts in Kantís aesthetics and practical philosophy - the sublime, enthusiasm, freedom, empirical and intellectual interests, the idea of a republic - fit together and deepen our understanding of Kantís philosophy. He examines the ways in which different kinds of sublimity reveal freedom and indirectly contribute to morality, and discusses how Kantís account of natural sublimity suggests that we have an indirect duty with regard to nature. Unlike many other studies of these themes, this book examines both the pre-Critical Observations and the remarks that Kant wrote in his copy of the Observations. Finally, Clewis takes seriously Kantís claim that enthusiasm is aesthetically sublime, and shows how this clarifies Kantís views of the French Revolution. His book will appeal to all who are interested in Kant's philosophy.
