Keywords:

Abstract
This paper explores the concept of “the sublime” in the baroque culture, aiming to demostrate that, although it wasn’t sistematically theorized until the XVIIIth century, it already played a significant role during the XVIIth century and, above all, gained a philosophical meaning, similar to those imposed subsequently, and as we will see, that is closely related withthe concept of “nihilism”.Format
