Summary
Following my three-fold typology, this table classifies the objects that can elicit an aesthetic judgment of the sublime. Cf. the list in Böhme, Kants “Kritik der Urteilskraft,” pp. 83–107, which unlike my table does not classify the objects. It is limited to the third Critique. The sublime of mental states is conceived as a subset of the moral sublime. Some sublime mental states (subset 1) only elicit feelings of the sublime, while some states can actually be or constitute such feelings (subset 2). Mountain ranges, the ocean, and the idea of infinity can evoke either the dynamical or the mathematical sublime, depending on the act of judging.
