Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the juxtaposing of the interpretations of Kant’s Analytic of the Sublime (Critique of the Power of Judgement) made by two important postmodern teoreticians – Paul de Man and Gilles Deleuze. What is common between them is revealed in the concept of surface and hencem, of materialism. Materialism should be understood as a one-plane ontology, absence of all transcendence, while the concept of surface – as a suspicion to everything interior, to everything „hidden“, and privileging the linguistic over the conceptual. De Man finds in Kant a version of the Sublime that is materialistic, close to the Deleuzian ontology. The text finally presents its own hypothesis of the conceptual difficulties Kant stumbles upon.
