Thank you so very much for this enlightening contribution. Being German (this is the husband writing), I had always understood "sublime" as "subliminal" (unterschwellig, subconscious) and had been crushed when I found out that it could actually mean "crushed". So, thanks again

_Aesthetically_ _pleasing_ usage of *mind* *mapping* and *etymology* in order to give *context* to *key* *terms* of *cultural* *history* ! *Encyclopedism* on another level. However, characterizing *romanticism* as *sexist* is an _ideological_ notion (refering to the theoretical position of 'gender as a mere _construct'_ ) as femininity and _affection_ in romantic writing were not always _dismissed_ , but quite _idealized_ as a trait of *nature* (e.g. in Friedrich Hoelderlin's *Hyperion* or Herman Melville's novels) - that is more connected to *pre-cognitive* reality than the _masculine_ rationalism of the classicists. If women were often pictured as ill-educated and _emotive_ then it was an accurate observation of the average 18th century female. It took female writers to prove that females can hold their ground in a conversation if given access to the necessary education (e.g. Margaret Fuller). Moreover, 'love at first sight' is not an _idealization_ of 'romantic love', but the _natural_ effect of two individuals _realizing_ they are _attracted_ _to_ _each_ _other_ - arguably not the 'pinnacle' of _love_ , but the 'cornerstone' of a sexual relationship. Given the fact that the _sublime_ of _nature_ is so widely _referenced_ in this essay, but effectively dismissed as _unreal_ , the presentation suffers from a lack of balance in the end, advocating for a _certain_ *interpretation* of 'romanticism' (e.g. on the British Isles and tilted towards *Whiggism* ) while disregarding others (e.g. on the European continent or the New World). Education is not _activism_ - it is the _foundation_ of liberty as _informed_ _action_ .
Oh my goodness.... you are sooooooooooooooo welcome, thank you for the post, it is a HUUUUUUUGE PLEASURE to view. Almost too much pleasure for this lil (or big and sticky) visual addicts dancing heart. God bless
Gosh this I phenomenal, this video especially unique with it's deconstruction of the romantic movement through the etymology of words and their meanings as well as the wider development of the words, I love this so muchhh
what a complex (but also entertaining) task this video must have been... great job!!! all the connections made to the term really helped me understand what Sublime means; it made me think that, perhaps, it's always been around as an idea, lingering behind all those other movements, but people of the earlier centuries couldn't think of the right name to give it, let alone find a proper explanation for it.
It makes sense that a philosopher like Adam Smith who concentrates on the individual does not only explain the economic aspects but also sees the core of being an individual: having emotions. Love the films by the way
+Ties Herfst Thanks! Of course you're right, I was just being a bit flippant--it just seems surprising when you look only at the end results. Glad you enjoy the videos!
if you have learning difficulties like I do, it helps to put the video on a slightly slower speed setting so you can understand it better and have more time to write things down without pausing every other second.
Nice presentation. Now I've got something to contribute. I kept getting lost when you move from one artists to another. Lemme say there were a lot of philosophers in here

Best definition of Romanticism ever was given by Bertrand Russell (I paraphrase): "The Classicist puts the tiger in a cage marked "tiger" and the goat in a cage marked "goat". The Romantic opens both cage doors and admires the magnificent leaps of the tiger as it annihilates its prey".
A version without any background music is here: ua-cam.com/video/ul_YAM_Udek/v-deo.html Thanks for the comments pointing out that the music was too loud for many people.
I knew about the Goths not actually using black lipstick hehehe. I also heard the story of how the novel "The hunchback of Notre-dame" saved the cathedral of Notre-dame by being a fanfiction. That's quite lovely and speaks volumes about how influential literature and, basically all arts can be in our day to day life, and history. : )
Not gonna lie, it's necessary to be of very particular intellectual capabilities to put such a loud music on the background that it is almost impossible to listen the speech.
Loving these video! One suggestion: would like to see the the birth and death years of all the people mentioned in the videos, since there are so many periods etc. mentioned and at least I seem to get lost sometimes. Anyways, great job!
+Alliterative I was thinking having the years under the pictures you have in your videos, for me there is no need to include them e.g. into narration. Keep up the good work!
In the future, may I suggest lowering the volume of the classical music and maybe picking a song that is more calm? It was really hard to focus on what you were saying because of the music
Ok. I saw the subject and the only meaning of "sublime" is when a substance passes from a solid phase to a gas phase directly without first transitioning to a liquid phase. That is the more common meaning in my brain (clearly I'm not an artist) and I am disappointed that this meaning wasn't addressed in your video.
Great video, but I kept wondering how terms like "classical" and "romantic" fit into musical styles as we now refer to them, e.g., Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, et al. Like Mozart and Haydn are "classical", Beethoven is in between, then composers like Tchaikovsky or Dvořák are "romantic".
Thanks! The basic answer is that those composers are from those same periods, and show basic similarities to the aesthetic: harmony & symmetry in the classical period, emotion and imagination in the romantic. There's lots more to be said, of course, about the details of the musical styles; maybe that'll have to be its own video some day!
There's a subtle difference between 'gothick' and 'gothic' revival architecture. The former was a more surface deep approach which put medieval details on to a classical layout, the Houses of Parliament being an excellent example (the architect was E. Barry). The latter was a more fundamental attempt to adopt true medieval gothic architecture in an authentic way.
And if we could consider that 'Romanisch' isn't quite the same as 'Römisch' we wouldn't have to look up 'Romanesque' architecture in an English dictionary...
We've had other comments on the music, and after some work finding the original pieces (not all of which I could reconstruct) here's a version without background music, which may be slightly lower quality visuals but should be ok: ua-cam.com/video/ul_YAM_Udek/v-deo.html
I'd argue that Adam Smith's two books (on the face of it, since I've only skimmed through their wiki pages) can complement each other since building wealth enables all the people to acquire more wealth, thus giving them a more comfortable life. He makes the case for multiple present societal themes such as; progressive taxation ("It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.", the 1% discussion). the aversion of public debt [of war] ("payment of the interest of the publick debt, it has been said, it is the right hand which pays the left ... and the nation is not a farthing the poorer ... [but this is] the sophistry of the mercantile system", which can be loosely tranlated to the costs of the war spending will burden future generations), And other very 'sensible' principles such as the unjust actions against organised labour while organised 'masters' got a free pass and that monopolies should be prevented since it artificially raises prices. Before this video I hadn't heard of Adam Smith, but researching this topic was quite pleasant since I found my opinions to naturally align with the views expressed in Wealth of Nations. I came across an article (deoxy.org/korten_betrayal.htm) that reflects conversations I had that it isn't market economics causing current problems, but (with this newfound terminology), the loss of sensibility in the political economic system, where greed and excesses seem to run rampant. Tying this back to Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments, I think these two should be read in tandem since they balance each other out.
That's very interesting; I admit I haven't read Smith in depth. Perhaps the contrast I pointed to in the video is more between modern 'interpretations' of Adam Smith -- various ideologies surrounding capitalism -- and the idea of sensibility, rather than between his own views.
I know this is two year's late... But, a question i have is, the Latin spoken by the people in Gaul was influenced by Frankish, and then Old English was influenced by the combination of vulgar Latin and Frankish known as French and old english became middle english? So basically what I'm asking is.... A romance language had been influenced by a Germanic one and then centuries later a Germanic language had been influenced by a romance language?
Yes, basically! In other words none of these languages is 'pure' in any sense (whatever that means) and English has both Germanic and Romance roots from way way back.
Dude LOL, this is all way too ROMANTIC!!!🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the Good Work, homies!!! BTW, you guys nailed the video and the definition of sublime, You guys nailed it so well in fact, that the Bible Writers just called, They're accusing you of stealing intellectual property; They want their Crux-of-Fiction back! okay gotta go, dont have time to contruct perfect sentences... zip it up and zip it out homies!
I don't understand your commentary on Adam Smith. Why is it "strange" that he was both a major figure in capitalist thought and in romantic philosophy? Surely an intellectual can approach a variety of subjects throughout his lifetime, especially those of the caliber of Adam Smith. Also, this video has quite a few issues. Music too loud, you seem to be jumping between many different topics , and, in my view, you spend way too much time on the etymological roots of the terms rather than the ideas themselves.
+shniken Argh! I wanted to--it was in the first draft; it comes from medieval alchemy, & has its own fascinating story -- but I just couldn't fit it in, the video was already so long, I ended up cutting it out. But it'll be in my blog post, which should go up tomorrow (I hope!): www.alliterative.net/blog
I find it worrying that humanist optimism is becoming popularity again. Nihilism is the way to go. Even Christianity once embraced the fact that human beings are miserable, wretched creatures whose lives are defined by suffering. In fact, suffering is vital in building moral character. Once one embraces that life is suffering and death is inevitable, one can start to work toward mastery. Humans are not meant to overcome the human condition.
Well, that elevated quickly.

Would is be accurate to compare The Enlightenment and the following Romanticism with Modernism and Postmodernism?
Yes, I think that’s a fair parallel-a direct rebuttal of the previous movement.
