    I don't subscribe to either and the only things I share between the two is optimism and nostalgia.

    Reason is not the be-all and end-all of society. The French Revolution suffered pretty heavily because they were Enlightenment zealots.

    Humans are not rational creatures. They are animals, pulled by instincts and impulses and desires they don't fully understand.

    Of course there's all kinds of Romanticism. Some purely intellectual/literary and some more political or philosophical. And even among the latter, you have to differentiate between someone like Byron and Hugo and Hawthorne.
