== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Romanticism''' β An intellectual and artistic movement (late 18th to mid-19th century) that emphasized "Emotion," "Imagination," and "Nature" over "Reason" and "Science." * '''The Sublime''' β The "Feeling" of "Awe and Terror" when facing something "Infinite" or "Dangerous" in nature (e.g., 'A Thunderstorm' or 'A Glacier'). * '''Subjectivity''' β The belief that "Truth" is found in "Personal Experience" and "Feeling" rather than "Objective Facts." * '''Genius''' β The "Romantic Hero": an individual (like an 'Artist' or 'Poet') who has "Special Insight" and "Doesn't Follow the Rules" of society. * '''Nostalgia''' β A "Sentimental Longing" for the "Past" (especially the 'Middle Ages'), seen as a time of "Authenticity" before the "Factory." * '''The Noble Savage''' (Rousseau) β The "Idea" that "Primitive People" are "Better and Happier" because they are "Close to Nature" and "Un-corrupted" by "Civilization." * '''Organic Society''' β The "Communitarian" (see Article 557) view that society is a "Living Organism" with "History," not just a "Contract" between strangers. * '''Irrationalism''' β The "Critique" that "Reason" is a "Trap" and that "Will," "Intuition," and "Dream" are the "Real" drivers of life. * '''Poetic Truth''' β The belief that "Art" can "Reveal" truths that "Science" can never "Measure." * '''Anti-Modernism''' β The "Fear" and "Rejection" of "Technology," "Cities," and "Industrialization." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
