Robert Doran claims that the sublime is all about transcendence transferred from the religious to the aesthetic domain of experience. Taken in this philosophical rather than stylistic sense, it proved crucial for the development of modern subjectivity. Doran traces the issue from Longinus through the decisive reception of Nicolas Boileau, who first distinguished le sublime from le style sublime, on to an extended engagement with Immanuel Kant. In all this he seeks its place in the rise of the modern bourgeois subject. The social-historical connections tend to be a bit overstated, first, with regard to Boileau and the idea of the honnete homme, and especially with the claim that “Burke treats aesthetic concepts as proxies for sociopolitical categories.” It is not fruitful for an understanding of Kant, either. This weakens his powerful argument for the philosophical significance of the sublime in modern thought.

崇高的哲学重构

罗伯特·多兰（Robert Doran）声称，崇高的目的在于超越从宗教到美学领域的超越。从这种哲学而不是风格的角度来看，它被证明对现代主体性的发展至关重要。多兰（Doran）通过对尼古拉斯·博伊洛（Nicolas Boileau）的果断接待，追溯了隆吉纳斯岛的问题，尼古拉斯·博伊洛首先将le sublime与le style sublime区别开，然后与Immanuel Kant进行了广泛接触。在所有这些方面，他都在现代资产阶级主题的兴起中寻求自己的位置。首先，关于Boileau和Honnete homme的想法，尤其是声称“ Burke将美学概念视为社会政治范畴的代理人”，其社会历史联系往往被夸大了。对康德的理解也不是富有成果的。
