Explain: Individualism

AI response
Individualism in Romanticism emphasizes the intrinsic value and uniqueness of the individual. It celebrates personal freedom, self-expression, and the idea that each person has a distinct inner life and perspective. This contrasts with Enlightenment rationalism, which often prioritized universal reason and societal norms. Romantic individualism champions the individual's emotional depth, creativity, and autonomy, often viewing society as a constraint on personal authenticity and growth. Thinkers like Rousseau and artists like Wordsworth exemplify this by focusing on personal experience and subjective truth.
