Politics is Sublime

Abstract

This paper examines the political aesthetic of Hannah Arendt and Jacques Rancière who in their own ways, found resources in an innovative reading of Kant's Critique of Judgment. The paper explores the Kantian legacy in the political understanding of these two thinkers. It then focuses on Rancière's notion of dissensus and argues that his politics shares the aesthetic features associated with the Kantian sublime.
