Adam Zagajewski’s aesthetics of the sublime (Longinus)
Abstract
In this paper it is shown how some of the main ideas formulated by Longinus in his treatise On the Sublime are present in the aesthetics of Adam Zagajewski. Special attention is paid to: a) the concept of the sublime and the definition of poetry, b) the aesthetics of reception, and c) the role that inspiration plays in creativity.
