"Die romantische Schule"

"Die romantische Schule" refers to a movement in German literature and philosophy during the early 19th century that emphasized emotion, individual experience, and imagination over rationalism and classical traditions. It sought to explore the depths of human feelings, nature, and the uniqueness of personal perspective. Thinkers like Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis championed poetic expression as a way to transcend ordinary understanding, often blending philosophy, art, and spirituality. This movement played a key role in shaping Romanticism, highlighting subjective experience as a vital source of truth and beauty rather than mere reason or scientific logic.
