Abstract
The essay develops the notions of sublime in Pseudo-Longinus, Burke and Kant. The main thesis is that the Kantian sublime has got a systematic essence, which makes it impossible to employ this philosophical concept in the art criticism and production, as Barnett Newman tried to do in the ’80s.
