Chad A Haag lectures on the third essay in Nick Land's Fanged Noumena. In “Delighted to Death,” we find that reason attacks the Imagination because exchange requires a purification of animality in favor of rational transaction. Because Reason exerts a certain violence over sensibility in order to accustom it to the discipline of this sort of inhibited synthesis, the Sublime formally thematizes this split between animality and Reason. Properly understood, therefore, the sublime simply is the paradoxical “experience of the impossibility of experience”
