The ocean and space and "Ode to Joy" are sublime, of course... but what about an excellent lentil soup?

In a confusing twist of etymology, where one would expect "sub" to mean "below," in the word "sublime" it indicates something above or even beyond. We use it as a superlative, but a superlative of what?

Edmund Burke argues that the experience of sublimity is related to fear in the extreme, even terror-- and Immanuel Kant's not far from this understanding-- so when someone says the lentil soup they're eating is "sublime," are they just making a category mistake? This week, the HBS hosts dig into the concept of the sublime, and test the limits of not only our imagination and understanding, but also language itself.
