heal.abstractWith the Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757/59) Edmund Burke introduced a multilayered biomedical language into aesthetic theory that drew on specific models of the theory of contractility. “Contractility”—a later variant of “contractibility” or “contractibleness”—points to the earlier mixed genealogies of vitalism. The language of solid contractility used by Burke and Christopher Nugent, his personal physician and father-in-law, made available an amplified vision of the economy of life, and was interwoven with the discovery of a particularly enhanced model of medical therapeutics which registered important social and professional developments. The forces of contractility also offered a template for Burke's radical redefinition of the idea of the sublime as a specifically precious state of aggravated opposition—possibly the most singular and yet neglected legacy of his sublime to modernity. This new aesthetic of amplified tension produced its own diverse discursive and political legacies, liberal as well as revolutionary, which Burke, prior to his death, tried to confront and reverse.en
