Sommario/riassunto

The sublime refers to a conflict of the Kantian faculties of reason and imagination, and involves the attempt to represent what is intrinsically unrepresentable. Through topics such as sublimation, schizophrenia, God, and creation ex nihilo, this book contributes to a form of radical theological thinking that is involved in the world.
