“The starry sky above me...” Kant, “Critique of Practical Reason”
To Kant, it was an "experience of sublime", but the "starry sky" is now closer to us, more accessible.
The "starry sky" perhaps no longer astounds and frightens us, but it may inspire peace, conformity, harmony - a "feeling of Beautiful".

...the starry sky above us, reflexively experienced, in us, as a “conformity to ends” which is expressed in the feeling of intercommunicable harmony, as ´”feeling of life”, by the compatibilization of different noumenic natures that are capable of making emerge a non-schematizable “perceptive pathos”, but reflected as an experience of Good, an experience which is enacted by the aesthetic “feeling of Beautiful”.
What is experienced as Good is not expressible by a form or figure, it is not also a (dis)form..., it is not demonstrative, it is not monstrative,..., but it can be interpreted-there and understood-there with the things-there and in the things-there...
The Good, such as Amazonia’s biodiversity, “escapes the understanding of the numbers” (borrowing a phrase taken from an episode of “Vida Animal” RTP).
