A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful

Oxford World’s Classics

In his Enquiry Edmund Burke overturned the Platonic tradition in aesthetics and replaced metaphysics with psychology. His revolutions in method and sensibility influenced later philosophers and literary and artistic movements from the Gothic novel to Romanticism and beyond. This new edition guides the reader through Burke’s arguments.
