| Abstract: | This article explores the Classical and Romantic philosophical theories of the sublime in the works of Longinus, Hegel, Burke, and Kant using architectural and art historical elements as a means of analysis. In studying these philosophers’ definitions of the sublime, from mathematical perfection to the ineffable chaos of nature, the sublime is seen to stem from various visual catalysts. While the sublime may not be caused by the same visual stimulus, the emotion of the sublime appears universal. |
