classical vs. romantic

the classical way of viewing is the more analytical way of viewing things, breaking them down into the lists and functions that make up the larger object/being that is being thought of. an example of classical thinking is a scientific lab report or writeup. there are many different stages, materials and hypotheses that make up the greater object, being in this case, a science report.

a romantic way of viewing things is that of a sort of first impression or gut feeling of an object. an example of the romantic way of thinking is again the science report. a romantic view of this would be that it is not detailed lists and functions that go into the report, but just simply a scientific writeup on topic A.

although most people would like to see themselves as romantic thinkers, i believe that most people are in fact classical thinkers, as we are brought up in a society that thinks of things in a classical manner.
