Sam,
according to Rorty, Nietzsche is a romantic also. Indeed, it is the
movement to self-creation which Rorty finds most akin to the romantics,
for they sought, according to him, a self-creation of people. Get rid of
this haughty Reason, and let people make themselves into new beings. I
find Rorty's account quite effective and you might check it out.
