Key
Questions
|
|
|
|
- How do the poems
reflect the climate of ideas swirling in Europe during this period of
political and philosophical revolution?
- Why did artists
of this era emphasize the use of symbol as the path to truth?
- How did the
philosophy of Romantic philosophers and poets of the late 18th and
early 19th century affect a change from Classical to Romantic musical
styles and forms?
- How does the
music of Beethoven, Berlioz and Chopin reflect the zeitgeist of the era?
- In what ways did
the development of the piano reflect the zeitgeist
of the time?
- How did Kant's
new epistemology bring the Enlightenment experiment to a close?
- Is Romanticism
responsible for the origins of both fascism and the celebration of
diversity?
- How did the
German idealists react against Enlightenment mechanistic conceptions of
human nature?
- How do the
paintings of Constable, Blake, Freidrich, Delacroix and Gericault use
symbol to make a socio-political statement?
- Discuss how the
Enlightenment and Romantic movements are twin ideas recapitulating the
historical arguments of the classical world and medieval Europe
regarding the nature of man and humanity.
