Rousseau And Romanticism - Irving Babbitt - Bog

Rousseau and Romanticism is a book written by Irving Babbitt that explores the influence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau on the Romantic movement. The book examines Rousseau's philosophy and how it shaped the Romantic movement's emphasis on individualism, emotion, and nature. Babbitt argues that Rousseau's ideas, particularly his belief in the inherent goodness of human nature and his rejection of traditional morality and social conventions, paved the way for the Romantic emphasis on personal experience and subjective truth. The book also delves into the ways in which the Romantic movement diverged from Rousseau's ideas, particularly in their rejection of reason and their embrace of the irrational and the supernatural. Overall, Rousseau and Romanticism is a detailed and insightful exploration of the intellectual and cultural roots of the Romantic movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
