"In Kant's theory of the sublime, we have something very different from Burke's. Burke seems to stress the immanence of the sublime: it is an irrational, emotional force, which "far from being produced by them, it anticipates our reasonings, and hurries us on by an irresistible force" (Burke, Part II, ch. 1) It is based in terror and self-preservation, and seems to involve an intensification of affect, rather than any kind of transcendence. For Kant, the sublime, is transcendent, rational, and reminds us of our 'higher' moral functions - it involves the lofty and the elevated, and seems to inscribe questions of value as central to the notion, 
whereas in Burke, although questions of value, morality and religion are not excluded, they do seem to become secondary. ...If Kant's 'transcendental Idealism' does manage to return to questions of value more convincingly than Burke's empiricism does, it situates questions of value in quite different - and decisively modern - terms. The value of the sublime is no longer at heart a matter of the ability to give us a glimpse of the divine; it now the transcendental nature of human reason which we glimpse in it."
