@Compassionate "Romanticism - Realism and Naturalism"

Answer 3

"Romanticism:

a movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that marked the reaction in literature, philosophy, art, religion, and politics from the neoclassicism and formal orthodoxy of the preceding period . . . The term is used in many senses, a recent favorite being that which sees in the romantic mood a psychological desire to escape from unpleasant realities. Perhaps more useful to the student than definitions will be a list of romantic characteristics, though romanticism was not a clearly conceived system. Among the aspects of the romantic movement in England may be listed: sensibility; primitivism; love of nature; sympathetic interest in the past, especially the medieval; mysticism; individualism; romanticism criticism; and a reaction against whatever characterized neoclassicism . . . The term designates a literary and philosophical theory that tends to see the individual at the center of all life, and it places the individual, therefore, at the center of art, making literature valuable as an expression of unique feelings and particular attitudes (the expressive theory of criticism) and valuing its fidelity in portraying experiences, however fragmentary and incomplete, more than it values adherence to completeness, unity, or the demands of genre. Although romanticism tends at times to regard nature as alien, it more often sees in nature a revelation of Truth, the "living garment of God," and a more suitable subject for art than those aspects of the world sullied by artifice. Romanticism seeks to find the Absolute, the Ideal, by transcending the actual, whereas realism finds its values in the actual and naturalism in the scientific laws the undergird the actual. (Harmon, 6th. Edition)."

Answer 5

@TheSmartOne what u say....?

Answer 6

The Romanticism is in the 18th century and focused on God, love, "self-preservation."

Neoclassicism started in the 18 century but competed with Romanticism and into the 19th and 20th century. Romanticism was abstract and focused on beauty, the self, and God; while Neoclassicism put emphasis on complexity, definition and the realistic perceptions; black and white, how of the world is?

Goals

Although Enlightenment thinkers generally shared a similar set of values, their philosophical perspectives and methodological approaches to accomplishing their goals varied in significant and sometimes contradictory ways. As Outram notes, the Enlightenment comprised "many different paths, varying in time and geography, to the common goals of progress, of tolerance, and the removal of abuses in Church and state".

In his essay What is Enlightenment? (1784), Immanuel Kant described it simply as freedom to use one's own intelligence. More broadly, the Enlightenment period is marked by increasing empiricism, scientific rigor, and reductionism, along with increased questioning of religious orthodoxy.

Historian Peter Gay asserts that the Enlightenment broke through "the sacred circle," whose dogma had circumscribed thinking. The Sacred Circle is a term he uses to describe the interdependent relationship between the hereditary aristocracy, the leaders of the church, and the text of the Bible. This interrelationship manifests itself as kings invoking the doctrine "Divine Right of Kings" to rule. Thus, the church sanctioned the rule of the king and in return the king defended the church.

Zafirovski (2010) argues that the Enlightenment is the source of critical ideas, such as the centrality of freedom, democracy, and reason as primary values of society – as opposed to the divine right of kings or traditions as the ruling authority. This view argues that the establishment of a contractual basis of rights would lead to the market mechanism and capitalism, the scientific method, religious tolerance, and the organization of states into self-governing republics through democratic means. In this view, the tendency of the philosophes in particular to apply rationality to every problem is considered the essential change. Later critics of the Enlightenment, such as the Romantics of the 19th century, contended that its goals for rationality in human affairs were too ambitious ever to be achieved.

A variety of 19th-century movements, including liberalism and neo-classicism, traced their intellectual heritage back to the Enlightenment.

So far from what I have read, it seems that the Age of Enlightenment (18th Century) was all based on reason and analysis. During this time period they produced a lot of books, essays, inventions, laws, etc that changed the way they lived and saw every day things.

19th Century Philosophy which was influenced by the Age of Enlightenment and Romanticism that began in the late 18th Century. Romanticism was all about emotions. In 19th Century, there were many new things such as Marxism, evolution, Utilitarianism, etc that changed Philosphy and Science.

Comp, I'm pretty sure that @nincompoop would be able to help in this topic better though. :)

Answer 10

So Romanticism came before Neoclassicism

Answer 11

Wait. It was Neoclassicism then Romanticism, right?

Answer 12

Romanticism 1800 to 1850 and Neoclassism was 1750 - 1900??

Answer 13

From wikipedia:
The main Neoclassical movement coincided with the 18th century Age of Enlightenment, and continued into the early 19th century, latterly competing with Romanticism.

It seems like neoclassism started around 1770 and ended around 1830.
