Abstract：The western concept of the sublime overflows with masculinist bias and its major theorists, Burke and Kant suffer from misogyny. The history of the sublime from Longinus through Kant draws our attention to two key issues: men’s sense of domination and mental triumph over nature and their exclusion of women from the sublime and their relegating them to the realm of the beautiful. Critics attempt to revise the previous errors from the feminist angle and produce a number of new terms: the feminine sublime, the material sublime, the domestic sublime, and the maternal sublime. They all turn toward rather than away from nature and refuse to engage in intellectual acts of domination. An ecofeminist critique of the sublime contributes to a rethinking of the contemporary environmental writing and a rejection of Kantian idealism as a progressive tool for ecocriticial theory.
