What social conditions caused the shift from rationalism to romanticism?

Social conditions such as industrialization, urbanization, and political upheavals created a sense of disillusionment and alienation in society, leading to a desire for emotional expression and individualism. This shift from rationalism to romanticism was a response to the Enlightenment focus on reason and logic, with romantics emphasizing emotion, nature, and the supernatural. The French Revolution and its aftermath also sparked a reevaluation of human nature and societal norms, contributing to the rise of romanticism.
