3570The Moral Source of the Kantian SublimeIn Timothy M. Costelloe (ed.), The sublime: from antiquity to the present, Cambridge University Press. 2012.A crucial feature of Kant's critical-period writing on the sublime is its grounding in moral psychology. Whereas in the pre-critical writings, the sublime is viewed as an inherently exhausting state of mind, in the critical-period writings it is presented as one that gains strength the more it is sustained. I account for this in terms of Kantian moral psychology, and explain that, for Kant, sound moral disposition is conceived as a sublime state of mind.
