as i see it classical thinking is a very scientific way of think. Seeing thing for what they are. Also the see thing for the straight facts and with a very clinical eye. They like to break thing apart and analysis what they see in front of them. Like know a remote control works because of the wires and signals inside not something like magic.
romantic thinking i think view things with personality and spirit and life even in inanimate objects. For example a house having a uplifting feel (or personality) or a spirit haunting you from it grave. It more of a creative and magical and given make believe story to pass of as reasoning for things in the world.
personally i think i think with a classical mind. I am no believer in spirits and ghost. i think that there are explanations for everything that happens. i just can except that thing just cant be explained.
I do agree with the statement that both are a good way to see the world but the clash and you must choice one way to see certain things in the world.

I disagree with you when you say that you must choose one way to see the world. I believe a person could think both classically and romantically. Like for example how in the book the narrator thinks classically about his motorcycle, yet romantically about the gloves he wears while riding his bike.
ReplyDeleteLike Isabel, I disagree with your choice that someone cannot see the world both romantically and classically; they are two forms of thinking which work hand in hand and both are needed to effectively understand the world around us. On the other hand, I think you have a good grasp on the two terms and for the most part explained them well.
ReplyDeleteyou seem to have a very solid understanding of the two terms but your last paragraph leaves me confused. are you saying that you, as a human being, can only see life through one point of view, or are you saying that you can only see a particular object through one way of thinking?
