During the 18th century, debates about what constituted the sublime flourished in Europe, and particularly in Germany. These debates were nourished by two different visions: The Kantian concept supposed that the sublime is supra-sensible and rooted in reason (Logos) rather than in the object, thus provoking a mental state of tension between nature and art; Edmund Burke's concept, on the other hand, conceived of the sublime as a bodily immersive experience, which we here define as "sensitive" sublime. In summary, Burke's view of the sublime is rooted in the senses and not in the power of reason, unlike Kant's. This was to disrupt the mainstream ideas of that time, unconsciously anticipating some of the recent neuroaesthetic acquisitions regarding the central role played by the sensory apparatus in the experience of beauty and of the sublime.
18 世纪，关于什么构成崇高的辩论在欧洲盛行，尤其是在德国。这些辩论受到两种不同观点的滋养：康德的概念认为崇高是超感性的，根植于理性（逻辑）而不是客体，从而在自然和艺术之间引发一种紧张的心理状态；另一方面，爱德蒙·伯克的概念将崇高理解为一种身体沉浸式体验，我们在这里将其定义为“感性”崇高。总之，与康德不同，伯克的崇高观根植于感官，而不是理性的力量。这是为了打破当时的主流思想，无意识地预示了一些最近的神经美学成果，这些成果涉及感官在审美和崇高体验中的核心作用。
