A multi-voiced investigation into one of the most complex and indefinable feelings: the sublime. The volume collects the reflections of some of the major exponents of contemporary philosophical thought: Elio Franzini, rector of the State University of Milan, presents his lectio on the sublime from ancient to postmodern rhetoric; Carlo Serra, philosopher of music, analyzes the sublime in the production of cultured music of the twentieth century, in particular in the emblematic work of Edgard Varèse; Paolo Spinicci, professor of theoretical philosophy, studies the infinitely large and the infinitely small; Giuseppe Civitarese, psychoanalyst, analyzes the "beautiful" as the beginning of the "tremendous", the two polarities of the sublime; Florinda Cambria, philosopher, brilliantly intervenes on the soul and the work of infinity; the philosopher Carlo Sini, investigates the sublime as the threshold of the soul; Roberta De Monticelli, professor at the San Raffaele University in Milan, takes us "to the high seas" of Ulysses; Franco Rella, philosopher of aesthetics, explores the resonances of the unlimited of the soul and the unlimited of things.
