Features: The cultural traditions of Europe, in the process of inheritance, diverge from a common origin, involving critique and rejection, yet innovation emerges amidst this critique and rejection. Since the 15th century, the scientific thinking and practices, as well as the gestation, germination, and growth of the concepts of freedom and democracy, have been clearly traced in the "history of the spirit." Europe is not merely a geographical concept but also a cultural one. The culture of Europe is vast and profound.
