Summary:
An eloquent and sometimes even erotic book, the Philosophical Enquiry
was long dismissed as a piece of mere juvenilia. However, Burke's
analysis of the relationship between emotion, beauty, and art form is
now recognized as not only an important and influential work of
aesthetic theory, but also one of the first major works in European
literature on the Sublime, a subject that has fascinated thinkers
from Kant and Coleridge to the philosophers and critics of today.
