It is also described here the connection of romantic hyperbolism with the principle of reality that is vividly represented in their geopolitical implications. The author discerns romanticism as the epiphenomenon of rationalism, as the form of strategic action. In particular it is dealt with the poshlost (platitude) – one of the converted forms of the communicative rationality that parasitizes on the contrast between the ideological totality and customary cultural forms.
