Abstract
The identification of culture with subcultures is one of the most common mistakes in the study of culture. This tolerance also occurs in the study of the relationship between "culture" and "literature". Some consider literature as part of culture and others, on the contrary, consider culture as part of literature; And some consider these to be manifestations of one another or of another. The right way is to refine the concept, provide a definition of the basis and determine the logical relationship between the two categories. The purpose of this paper, after determining this ratio, is to examine how literature influences culture.
This article claims that by assuming the authority of one of the many interpretations of these two concepts, the influence of literature on culture can be examined in the context of the four causes of the existence of the object; Adopting this method reveals: Literature has a direct impact on the "existential" and "essential" causes of culture
