Beauty, Sublimity, Morality

In #23 of the Critique of Judgment, Kant characterizes the theory of the Sublime as "a mere appendix" to that of Beauty.  In contrast, in the General Comment, he conceives Sublimity as transcending Beauty as a cultivator of Morality.  For, as he explains in the latter passage, Beauty consists in "play", whereas Morality is a "task", involving "sacrifice or deprivation" that is found in Sublimity, not Beauty.  The vacillation illustrates a distinction between conceiving Beauty and Sublimity in themselves, and embedding them in a system that is dominated by Deontological Morality.
