On the Sulime:
With Burke’s “on the Sublime and Beautiful”, i believe that he was able to explain what is really sublime is.; on what is the feeling behind the word itself. he have said that it is caused by something that can feel us nothing but astonishment. It is the feeling that you are so amazed with an object that it seems you’re world has stopped. you have nothing in mind but only that object. as defined in the dictionary, sublime is the most exalted, grandest, and noblest kind. hmmm…who will not be starstrucked with that?
with that, you can have a conclusion that sublime is always positive. that is what i thought at first. But, as i have read Burke’s article, it’s not. According to him, you can feel sublimity not just with the positive things but also find sublime in negative, in horror. Isn’t it ironic? for me, it is. But hey, its true. he equates terror and horror with sublime. He explained that , when you feel terror, you too will be astonished, as what is caused by the sublimity. So, when there is terror, there is sublime.
It is also sublime when things are obscure, not clear. because it will tickle your mind and start to think of that thing that sometimes lead you to horror. so, it produces terror on the mind, which is to BUrke, sublime.It is because when things are not clear, we become interested with that thing; we wwill be curiousabout it, which made it great. conversely, when things are laid before our eyes, then there is no challenge about it. you will not be amazed anymore. The more enticing the object is, the more it is enticing to our senses.
Moreover, power, privation, vastness and infinity cuses sublime. for the same reason that it causes terror.
Therefore, sublime is anything that will capture your senses for a moment. Astonished with its greatness and also with the terror that it bring; sounds odd at first, but when you think of it, it is. For terror, same with amazement, filled up your senses, which is the commen denominator of all things you consider sublime.

Of the Standard of Taste
If we talk about beauty, we will also be talking about taste. Different people have different percption about beauty, it is because they have different tastes. so, Hume suggests that it people must have a universal perception when it comes to tatse. He said that we must follow a standard, and what does not conform with the standard is of course not beautiful. But for me, I think, it will not work; it is because, eventhough you will set a standard, if it is not really beautiful to a certain person, then it’s not. you cannot dictate human’s perception. though yes, in media, it influences. but not all people were blinded by the media. they have different view swhen it comes to taste and i think it is innate with that person. so, there is no such thing as standard taste, as standard beauty.
