@@pramatheshnandan3380 Wtf, that’s not effort. That goes well beyond what’s reasonable to expect of an audience. Get some standards.

In an age of passion, where hearts once soared, Romanticism bloomed, its essence poured, Through art and verse, it sought to express, The fervor of love, the soul's finesse. Philosophy intertwined with nature's allure, The sublime, the wild, a spirit pure, From Wordsworth's hills to Byron's strife, Emotions painted, a vivid life. The poet's pen, a visionary guide, Through love and loss, where feelings reside, Shelley's dreams and Keats' sweet pain, Echoing timeless, their soulful refrain. Then, their words ignited a fiery glow, Hearts ablaze with an ardent flow, But now, in a world of modern hue, Their echoes linger, still ringing true. For love's enchantment, though time may sway, In hearts and souls, it finds its way, The essence of Romanticism's flight, Then and now, an eternal light.

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. It's so cool to see your video style evolve.

I’m so happy you chose Romanticism. It’s perfect 👌

good vid, pls make more about modernism, post-modernism, etc

Excellent video. I was talking about romanticism just the other day, but realized that I didn't really have a strong understanding of the topic

wonderful video, this was very pleasant to watch before going to bed. I'd love to see more on romanticism

thank you so much, the in-depth philosophical insight was great, learnt a lot more in this vid than in any of my english classes cheers!

Your videos are philosophically very helpful and also stylistically enjoyable. I have been following you for a long time. Please keep on producing the great works.

My most favorite has been , " Rime of the Ancient Mariner " . Thanks from Kumbhoj village Jai Maharashtra.

The production quality of this video is a lot higher than what its views reflects. As a great introduction to the philosophy during the romanticism, I will thank you for making this.

Hi! Really wonderful video, the content is accurate and different from many other videos on the KZread. I have a recommendation and that is to try and create some animated content rather than using some old stock footage, It would be easier to enjoy and remember. Thanks for the time you've putted into creating this one though!

I wonder why so many people trace the development of The Enlightenment from Descartes through the French Revolution to the present. The French Revolution seems to have been a complete failure as it resulted in horrific atrocities and ultimately the return of the aristocracy via Napoleon. It seems to me that the path of The Enlightenment was more closely followed in England with more powers being devolved to the people via the legislature and then on to America with its Constitution.

@John Smith I think that's confusing 'The Enlightenment' with the development of constitutional liberal democracy. The two are related, but the Enlightenment went far beyond a simple political project. It was literally a new worldview, one which removed God (except in an abstract watchmaker sense) from the centre of the universe and placed humanity and reason.(or 'man' as the old fashioned way would have been) at the centre. Liberalism and constitutionalism (though not democracy) were outgrowths of this dramatic shift in thinking. They weren't the cause.

Wikipedia describes it as a reaction to the logic and reason of the Enlightenment, celebrating emotions and feelings. Beethoven vs. Bach. Victor Hugo, Edgar Allen Poe, Charlotte Bronte, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. A Gothic revival, the past is relevant. The rise of nationalism and the real reason we don't all now speak Latin or French or even English and why Europe didn't become all one nation.

“THE PATTERN of development typically established for the English romantic poets is the transition from naive political radicalism to literary romanticism, informed by a faith in imagination and sober conservative skepticism. Although there is a limited truth to this oversimplification, it distorts the actual process the poets experienced. Distortion becomes myth when the Enlightenment (rationalist, mechanistic, revolutionary) is contrasted with Romanticism (imagination and feeling, organicism, conservatism). This is especially misleading in dealing with a poet like Shelley, whose work reflects a growing pessimism even though he never ceased being a political radical.” ---Radical Shelley: The Philosophical Anarchism and Utopian Thought of Percy Bysshe Shelley

The beat from 4:53 is too catchy it's distracting me from video lol

After thinking about it for a while, I don't think Romanticism is as difficult to define as some might think. It emphasizes emotion, idealizes women, has an innate love for children, and sees nature as a teacher. When I read Romantic poetry I noticed a certain love for the natural state of things. This was most obvious in Wordsworth's poem "My Heart Leaps Up." But I've been asking myself if this really is an honest way of seeing the world. It really isn't, because it doesn't matter if your guilty of a crime or not, nature goes on with its hurricane-force winds, its blinding sunlight, and its spreading of innumerable diseases all the same. One of the biggest flaws of Romanticism is that it sees nature as a teacher. Hobbes was right about nature.

Talk about missing the forest for the trees. Of course nature isn’t some perfect all-loving force that only produces rainbows and sunshine. Romantics weren’t blind to the storms. The beauty of nature resides in the interplay of life and death, creation and destruction, happiness and sadness, orgasm and post-nut depression.

@RavenclawFtW3295

@@Liliquan I didn't say the Romantics were blind to the storms. The problem is that when you see nature as a teacher, then what reason is there for you to think that what it does isn't morally justified? Nature is no proper teacher for how to live your life.

People actually die when they step into my shadow. I woke up one morning, and my shadow was sat in a chair opposite me - it said "look, I can't do this anymore - so you'll have to leave without me". So that's what I did. I was telling this to the old lady across the street, and she started laughing at me saying "well, dear, if you've lost your shadow then what is that dark patch in front of you". I said, ma'am, that's not a shadow - I just peed my pants. Unfortunately my urine is made of highly concentrated sulphuric acid. And as the old lady had unknowingly stepped in it, she completely dissolved right in front of my eyes. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
