 Kant’s views about the sublime also appear to be less historically distinctive than his views about the beautiful, showing in particular the influence of Burke. On the other hand, Kant’s account of the sublime has been influential in literary theory (see  Section 2.9  below), and the sublime also plays a significant role in Kant’s account of the connection between aesthetic judgment and morality. Commentators who have emphasized the importance of the sublime in connection with moral feeling include Clewis (2009) and Matherne (forthcoming); the latter explores in particular the experience of the sublime as enabling the perception of our own freedom.
