The following is an excerpt from my work, “Art as Sublime”, in which I attempt to reconceptualize an ancient idea. Its bold thesis is that, far from an aesthetic incident, the Sublime is art’s very ‘telos'. “Art as Sublime” was published in 2023 in the short volume, “Sublimism: An introduction”.
With his total privileging of the concept of Being, Heidegger radically changed the way we conceptualise selfhood. The self went from being an epistemic entity, as it had been for centuries under Descartes and Kant, to a largely ontological one. This paper attempts to shed light of aspects of this paradigmatic shift in the philosophy of the self.
In this paper, I attempt to explore he idea that Kant ‘killed’ god – and I will do so chiefly by applying Kant’s refutations of the ontological proof to some of its most prominent instantiations through history, those of Anselm, Descartes and Spinoza.
