Question

One philosopher defined this concept as what is “subjectively felt by thought as differend.” Another philosopher described this concept as inducing a conscious turning away from one’s will and used light reflecting from a stone to exemplify its weak form. This is the first non-article in the title of a book featuring the chapter “How did Marx Invent the Symptom?” Jean-François Lyotard’s book Lessons on the Analytic of this (15[1])concept analyzes an earlier philosopher’s division of (*) “mathematical” and “dynamical” types of it. Because this concept creates fear, (-5[1])it is likened to a thunderstorm in a critique by Immanuel Kant. (10[1])A 1989 (-5[1])book by Slavoj Žižek (“SLAH-voy ZHEE-zhek”) is titled for this concept's Object of Ideology. For 10 points, name this aesthetic quality of greatness (10[1])that Kant contrasts with the beautiful. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])

ANSWER: sublime [accept On the Sublime; accept Sublime Object of Ideology; accept dynamical sublime; accept mathematical sublime; accept Lessons on the Analytic of the Sublime; accept technological sublime; accept industrial-metropolitan sublime] (The second line comes from Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and Representation.)
