Abstract

What evokes the feeling of the sublime is a controversial question. If nature is considered sublime, one presupposes the impression of its unbroken power. Industrial society has an ambivalent relationship to this: it is sought and destroyed. For the most the aesthetics of nature is seen only as an 18th century issue. But the term leads to central problems of philosophy. Even if the concept of sublimity became problematic, the feeling of nature might still be a part of our culture until the present.
