| summary | Is it possible that children experience something we could judge as the sublime ? Are they provided with the abilities necessary in adults for it ? Could we empirically isolate the relevant aesthetic components distinguishing the sublime from other experiences in children ? Some pivotal conjectures have been elicited to positively answer these questions ; however, this general topic still stands in need of fuller theoretical and empirical insights. My contribution intends to start filling this gap by drawing a philosophical and empirically tractable account of this aesthetic experience in 8-10 years old children. The main aim of this contribution is to propose that indeed children have all the necessary abilities to experience the sublime. Specifically, my purpose is to give a philosophical account of the experience of the sublime in children by identifying on the one hand its plausible components, and on the other hand its markers for future empirical inquiries. Since the sublime itself has positive outcomes in adults, such as pro-social behavior and enhancement of well-being and curiosity, it could be beneficial for children as well. Taking up this challenge may have important implications in the ever-growing field of aesthetic education. |
