Science and the Sublime

Listen as our contributors discuss the connections between science and the arts, especially where the sublime—the unknowable, the incomprehensible—fits within these fields. This conversation was inspired by Leonardo Reviews Quarterly 2.01: With Essays on the Sublime in Art and Science. This episode was recorded on August 22, 2012.
