Kant`s Concept of the Sublime

by Pabitrakumar Roy and With a Forward by P.K.Mahapatra

There is a moral feeling that precedes the Categorical Imperative in spite of the second Critique`s argument that the feeling of respect follows from awareness of the moral Law.The publication of this book coincides with the commemoration of 200 years of Kant`s death.
