Abstract
Daniel Dumouchel : The sublime and the limits of sensibility. Scientific perception in addison and Kant. We here emphasize certain aspects of the 18th-century relationship between scientific and philosophical discourse on aesthetics, by concentrating on the question of the sublime. This article insists on two crucial theoretical approaches to the sublime in nature, that of Joseph Addison in his essays on 'The Pleasures of the Imagination' (1712) and that of Immanuel Kant in his Theory of the Heavens (1755) and Critique of Judgement (1790).
