1 janv. 1757 - Edmund Burke published "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful"

Description:

- challenged rationalist ideas about aesthetic experience
- characterised the experiences of beauty and the sublime as complementary forms of sub-rational sensation
- aesthetic experience was not about intellectual judgements but actually a matter of basic instinct
- 'agreeable' horror of the sublime allowed us to contemplate terrifying things from a position of safety

- PREFERENCE FOR THE SUBLIME OVER THE BEAUTIFUL WAS TO MARK THE TRANSITION FROM NEOCLASSICAL TO ROMANTICISM
