Life and intellectual movement in Britain

There is a mistake that we must agree to correct and avoid. Some people may think that there are nations that can give without needing to take, because they influence other cultures, but they are not influenced by these cultures, and this nation has not yet existed and is not expected to exist. Mental life is something exchanged between nations, just as it is something exchanged between individuals. Just as an individual cannot give or benefit from mental life unless he takes and benefits from the mental life of others, likewise nations cannot give unless they take. If a modernist talks about English culture and its impact on other cultures, he must first think about English culture in that it is a culture that has been influenced by the culture of other nations, and there is no doubt that the English nation was influenced in the Renaissance by what European nations were influenced by. Different from this ancient culture, Greek culture and Latin culture. Taha Hussien
