Summary: Tracks the sublime art movement from Kant to the 21st century and onwards to a new future Stephen Zepke tracks the sublime art movement from its beginnings in Kant to its flowering in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

With it, a visionary politics of art seeks to give it the most creative power possible: the power to overcome our conditions and embrace the unknown.Key FeaturesConstructs a contemporary aesthetics of the sublime from the work of some of the most significant philosophers of the last 40 yearsTraces a new genealogy of post-war art that dissolves the modern/postmodern ruptureConnects this sublime diagram of art with the emergence of a new futureExplores how aesthetic production directly challenges our contemporary biopolitical conditions"
