What is the weak sublime?
The weak sublime is probably an oxymoron. An oxymoron is when two words that contradict each other are used together to describe something. Sublime is used to describe something that is awe-inspiring and dangerous, such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, huge waves. It is often used about nature. It has been used to describe weird and wonderful things. I am not entirely sure what the 'weak sublime' means, it would depend on the context. It could mean that the sublime described is weak, or it could mean that the concept of the sublime is weak. I'm not sure if i am making sense but i hope it helps :)
