Abstract: In the present thesis the philosophical foundations of German and English Romanticism are presented and compared. The thesis deals with philosophical ideas of Romanticism, which developed in late 18th century and at the beginning of 19th century in Europe. To understand the creation of Romanticism the political and cultural life of that time are presented and compared with the previous literary and philosophical epochs. Its objective is to show an idea of the mental attitude of young thinkers who wanted to express their feelings through internalization in literature. Thus, a comparison can be created between the social, cultural and political life of people and the moods of romantic intellectuals. Because the era of European Romanticism was a creative period in the early 19th century, this thesis presents writers and thinkers of two countries that had no active exchange of literary ideas, but ended up making an interesting discourse between philosophy of life and literature. The thesis reveals a picture of the mental perception of young intellectuals who made a unique contribution to the period known as Romanticism.
