Abstract
My contention is that Barth deliberately reframes theologically the Kantian conditions for perception of the beautiful and the sublime by dispossessing the subject of the normative universality she maintains in Kant’s system of knowing. Barth frames beauty and sublimity instead in terms of the givenness of divine being for us in the form of the Son of God incarnate. Beauty no longer is a subjective a priori; it is rather a product of divine self-giving. Barth therefore finds ways to speak of creaturely participation in this beauty through the playful language of ‘joy’ and ‘happiness’ in the Spirit.
