The Romantic response to the Enlightenment's postulate of autonomy wasn't only a response to the alienation brought about by its conception of reason - though that is the standard interpretation. It was to the disenchantment of the individual from the cosmos. This was expressed in the popular fictional horror scenario of the time, being alone and without community.
The solution was to connect the disincarnated Cartesian self via 'feeling'. The feeling-thought of imagination fit the new organic conception of human nature, and led to the characteristic panentheism of the period, as well as its Gnostic view of the self. But unlike earlier Gnosticism, the Enlightenment's autonomy was so radical that it required the individual to posit a second self, accessed through memory.
Henceforth, while rejecting the very idea of a transcendent personal God as unknowable, the human sciences would be based on positing some other sense of self, whether that of the past in historicism, the subconscious, or even Darwinism's 'selfish gene.'
