Sorry, high-brow (I'm a notorious typo-ist). There's a high culture European dialogue that's been going on for a millenium at least, and even more intensely in the 18th and 19th and 20th centuries...

Both in the social scene (upper-middle classes and above travelling around Europe), and in the explicit and implicit exchange of influences and ideas between philosophers, writers, poets, musicians, painters, and so on.

Although I really like the idea of 18th century aristocratic Bros. Bumping gloved fists, downing full kegs of claret, and quoting Thomas Hobbes instead of Simon Sinek.

Well, I'd say romantic poets and enlightenment philosophers kind of were :-)
