The Play’s das Thing: On the Incommensurability of Arendtian Political Action and the Kantian Sublime

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Drawing upon Hannah Arendt’s political reimagining of Kant’s aesthetics and Kant’s analysis of ‘enthusiasm’ as a modality of the sublime, I demonstrate in this paper how the Kantian sublime is incompatible with Arendt’s conception of political action.
