Beskrivelse

In the 1790s, a remarkable circle of friends in Jena sparked a revolution of the mind that reshaped the way we see ourselves and the world. Disillusioned by the French Revolution's swift descent into tyranny, they sought a deeper transformation through art, science, and philosophy.

How a group of early Romantics redefined thought, imagination, and emotion for generations to come.

These pioneering thinkers, known as the first Romantics, challenged the long-standing control European rulers had over how people thought and behaved. Through their work in poetry, drama, philosophy, and science, they revolutionized our understanding of human nature and the world around us.

Their bold exploration of the self continues to influence us today. We still think with their insights, imagine with their creativity, and experience emotions through their legacy. At the heart of their ideas lies the delicate balance between pursuing meaningful personal fulfillment and avoiding destructive self-obsession.

They also grappled with the tension between individual rights and our responsibilities as members of a community, including our duty to future generations who will inherit this planet. This extraordinary group’s groundbreaking ideas laid the foundation for much of modern thought, making it impossible to picture our lives without their influence.
