英国是一个自由的国度,其自由之根源主要来自于域外文明与古典文化。伊比利亚人、凯尔特人、罗马人、盎格鲁—撒克逊人、维京人、诺曼人,先后将自己的文明带入不列颠。尤其是13世纪,来自宗教领域与大学等教育机构的知识分子,全面吸纳来自希腊的古典文明。古典文明的复兴最终使英国演变成为一个具有自由思想与民主政治秩序的近代民族国家,并从此走上一条富有内在张力的多元并存与均衡互补的发展道路。
Britain is a free country. The root of its freedom comes mainly from extraterritorial and classical cultures. Iberians, Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans, have brought their own civilization to Britain. Especially in the 13th century, intellectuals from educational institutions such as religious fields and universities fully absorbed the classical civilization from Greece. The revival of classical civilization eventually led Britain to evolve into a modern nation with a liberal ideology and a democratic political order. From there, it has embarked on a road of development characterized by multiple internalities of tension and complementarity.
