Romanticism in science

During the romanticism movement there were romantic scientist that were indifferent with the idea of the emotionless natural philosophy from the enlightenment era. They supported the idea that by monitoring nature, answer from nature will come without any outside influence. They cautioned that enlightenment ideas allowed the abuse of sciences. Advancement in science they believe should be beneficial to not only men but to nature also. Various types of scientific study came from the romantic such as biology and psychology.
