- Title
SENSIBILITY AND THE LAW: ON RANCIÈRE'S READING OF LYOTARD.
- Authors
Milne, Peter W.
- Abstract
This paper responds to Rancière's reading of Lyotard's analysis of the sublime by attempting to articulate what Lyotard would call a "differend" between the two. Sketching out Rancière's criticisms, I show that Lyotard's analysis of the Kantian sublime is more defensible than Rancière claims. I then provide an alternative reading, one that frees Lyotard's sublime from Rancière's central accusation that it signals nothing more than the mind's perpetual enslavement to the law of the Other. Reading the sublime through the figure of the "event," I end by suggesting that it may have certain affinities with what Rancière calls "politics."
