ANTITHESIS
The concept of the sublime, while compelling, can be critiqued for its reliance on subjective experience, which risks being overly vague or inaccessible. It emphasizes overwhelming, awe-inspiring moments, but this focus can neglect the value of ordinary, everyday experiences that also shape human life. Additionally, the sublime often glorifies nature’s power, potentially overshadowing the need for practical engagement with environmental issues. By privileging the extraordinary, it may inadvertently alienate those who find meaning in the mundane or struggle to access such transcendent experiences.
