Existence Aesthetics Criticism

In Poland, the Romantic era marked the advent of a modern intellectual class that advocated for sweeping cultural, political, and societal transformations, mirroring the developments seen in France, Germany, and England. The essence of Polish Romanticism was deeply rooted in historical and philosophical discourse, emphasizing rebellion not just for personal liberty but also for national and social emancipation. This movement was a comprehensive response involving the full spectrum of human experience and imagination. Being fundamentally a movement of the young, Romanticism saw the youth challenging the established order through literature and art, redefining the concept of freedom. This redefinition transcended politics to embrace aesthetics, philosophy, music, science, and lifestyle, thus infusing daily life with a sense of liberation and genuineness.
