Philosophers
Spruce is directly linked to Kant and dedicated to a well-founded on the philosophical theory of knowledge I. The I ( = the creative human personality ) creates, with the help of creative imagination, the non-ego ( = Außen-/Umwelt ) at which it can operate ethically. The non-ego is, therefore, nothing strange, but a creation of the ego!
Schelling includes critically on Fichte's Science of Knowledge. Nature and mind form a unit. They are two manifestations of the same principle, the "world soul ". Everything in the universe is animated. Art is the highest of all earthly design.
Knowledge and faith, science and art, philosophy and religion are for the romantics one → romantic → universal poetry Schleiermacher: Religion is oneness of the individual with the infinite.
Theorist
Lectures, translations (including August Wilhelm Schlegel has together with his then-wife Caroline (later Schelling ) and Ludwig Tieck Shakespeare translated into German )
The poet creates with the help of the imagination works (" genius " = increase of all man's innate ability ). Just as the human ego creates the non-ego, densities implementation of the spirit is to poetic images: to create first act of poetic imagination = objects; Second act of poetic imagination = this objectivity in parables and dissolve poetic images. → The poet interprets the world anew. He can use the created things from him at any time destroy (destruction of a previously -created illusion = Romantic irony )
