Lest I forgets, surely the truly aesthetic is universal: it remains innocent of particularities pertaining to race, class, gender, religious affiliation, sexual orientation (if any), and political power. Surely "the sublime" commandsno less?
Would that be the Burkean sublime or the Kantian sublime? And if it's the latter, is it mathematical (wonder at Cantor's paradise) or dynamic (helplessness at the prospect of Godzilla raised to the 10th power)?
Perhaps the answer is to be found in peaceable Sublimity, Oregon. http://www.henrystrobel.com/saintboniface/sublimit.htm Remember, no virtue, no eudaimonia. (Or was that another thread?)
