A relação dos conceitos do belo e do sublime na representação dos gêneros

Abstract

It is known that Kant discoursed about the feelings of the beautiful and sublime in differentmoments of his philosophy. The first occurrence seems to be in Observations on the feeling of thebeautiful and the sublime (1764). And there, precisely, genders are represented by such sentiments. It’suse, then, the Critique of Judgment (1790) to present a possible justification for the assigning of thequality of the beautiful to woman and of the sublime to the man. owhere, it is intended to submitObservations under the critical perspective and vice-versa. However, the examination of the arguments
disposed in the third critique allows to determine a relation between these works, because of therepresentation of genders by refined feelings of pleasure. To this end, it is use an assumption of the
cultural character, namely, in the history of the West, the man appears related to culture, while thewoman is in the context of nature.

Keywords: Kant; Woman; Man; Beautiful; Sublime.
