Summary/Abstract: The main problem touched on in the article is the question of the relationship betwe¬en German romanticism and idealism, which occurred in the same time. Strictly spe¬aking, the basic task amounted to the answer to the problem whether this relationship me¬ant a similarity or a discrepancy. The considerations on the romantic idea of subjectivity contain many aspects becau¬se of the nature of the very concept of subjectivity. This concept refers to some episte¬mological issues, to the question of acting and creating, to the connections with the trans-cendental sphere, to nature, history and culture. There is a connection between the ro¬mantic idea of subjectivity and problems like the transcendental poetry. Therefore these issues are taken up. The conctusion which can be drawn from the considerations indicates that romanti¬cism and idealism should be separated. Although there are some parallels, the character of these currents is different. The fact that the creators of them had close contacts cannot change the final picture.
