FINAL PAPER: A Comparison Between the \u201cBeautiful\u201d and the \u201cSublime\u201d<\/p>\n
Passage:<\/p>\n
\u201cOf the Sublime<\/p>\n
Whatever is fitted in any sort to excite the ideas of pain and danger, that is to say, whatever is in any sort terrible, or is conversant about terrible objects, or operates in a manner analogous to terror, is a source of the sublime; that is, it is productive of the strongest emotion which the mind is capable of feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abstract<\/p>\n
The notion of \u201cbeauty\u201d has been considered an essential principle of good design for centuries. For Vitruvius, beauty was associated with proportion, fitness, perfection, and virtue. Yet, Burke believed that beauty existed in the quality of an object. For him, beauty was achieved by combining smallness with smoothness, cleanness with delicacy. He defines beauty as the body\u2019s neurological response to objects rather than by mental operations. Later on, Burke is also captivated by the aesthetic category of the sublime. He believes that the notion of pain, obscurity, and terror are far more powerful than those of pleasure.<\/p>\n
This essay is intended to draw a comparison between the notion of Beauty and Sublime. It is meant to illustrate beauty as a consonant, and sublime as a dissonant. <\/p>\n
