Summary
AI-generated from the abstractRomantic philosophy, as expressed in literature, involved more than the discovery of God's immanence in nature; it centered on a metaphysics of dream directly lived by authors, founded on the concept of the inner man and the dichotomy of interiority and exteriority inherited from St. Augustine. This operative metaphysics brought dream into real life, exemplified in the works of Gautier and Eminescu, who literaturized a technology of ascending man to heaven through psychedelic dreams, often induced by hashish.

Abstract
Considering that the dominant philosophy of an era can be found most clearly expressed in works of literature, this essay attempts to demonstrate that romantic philosophy meant more than the discovery of God immanence in nature. It is about a metaphysics of dream directly lived by the romantic authors and founded on the concept of inner man, which refers to the dichotomy of interiority / exteriority as in the philosophy of St. Augustine. Around this homo interior occurs all the bringing of dream into real life operated by the romantics, an operative metaphysics exemplified here with the work of Gautier and Eminescu, authors who literaturized the same technology of ascending man to heaven, a philosophy based on psychedelic dreams, often induced by hashish.
