Hegel’s Romance of Reason.

'The romance of reason lays the groundwork for understanding both Hegel’s critique of Romanticism and his indebtedness to it. It helps us see how his “Phenomenology,” though critical of Romantic heroes and their cult of feeling, is in its own way a romance of reason.'

Peter Kalkavage, St. John's College, at The Imaginative Conservative.
