The purpose of this paper is two: One is to reveal Burke's aesthetics based upon the double character of both ‘imagination’ and ‘imitation’, giving attention to his parallel of poetry and painting. The other is to point out that ‘obscurity’ and ‘terror’ are the prime and coherent ideas closely related to the Sublime, resulting in his view of the superiority of poetry to painting. I will demonstrate the true image of the young Burke in A Philosophical Enquiry (1757).
