The German Romantic School

The German Romantic School was a movement in the early 19th century that emphasized emotion, individual experience, and imagination in art, literature, and music. It sought to explore deep feelings, nature’s beauty, and the mysterious aspects of human existence. Thinkers like Novalis and Schiller valued intuition over reason, believing that art could reveal profound truths about life. This movement contrasted with the earlier Enlightenment’s focus on logic and science, aiming instead to capture the soul's expressiveness and the awe of nature. Overall, it fostered a rich, passionate approach to understanding human experience.
