Defining the Egalitarian Sublime

This chapter gives a detailed definition of the egalitarian sublime. It distinguishes this anarchic definition from Rancière’s political philosophy while taking inspiration from Balibar’s work. The chapter claims that the sublime is always at risk of leading to inequalities. The chapter finishes by repudiating the idea that we can arrive at a state free of the sublime. This involves a critical reading of the shift from the sublime to wonder in Genevieve Lloyd’s philosophy.
