Cuoco - Vincenzo Cuoco

Japanese: クオーコ - くおーこ（英語表記）Vincenzo Cuoco

1770‐1823
Neapolitan historian and politician. He participated in the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799, which overthrew the Bourbon dynasty of the Kingdom of Naples and established a republic, and after the failure of the revolution he went into exile in Milan, where he founded the magazine Giornale Italiano and debated the formation of national consciousness. In 1806, when the Kingdom of Naples was incorporated into the Napoleonic regime, he returned to Naples and, as a member of the government, worked to reform education, finance, and the judiciary. In his main work, On the Neapolitan Revolution (1801), he argued that revolutionary ideas should not be derived from universal reason, but that it is important that they be linked to the traditions of each nation, and reflected on the fact that the Neapolitan Revolution was inspired by the French Revolution and was carried out on the same ideological principles as the French Revolution.

ナポリの歴史家，政治家。ブルボン朝ナポリ王国を倒して共和制を樹立した1799年のナポリ革命に参加，革命失敗後ミラノに亡命，《ジョルナーレ･イタリアーノ》誌を創刊して民族意識の形成を論ずる。1806年ナポリ王国がナポレオン体制下に組みこまれるとともにナポリに戻り，政府の一員として教育，財政，司法の改革に努める。主著《ナポリ革命論》(1801)で，革命思想は普遍的な理性から導き出されるのでなく，それぞれの民族のもつ伝統と結びつくことが重要だと説き，ナポリ革命がフランス革命に触発され，フランス革命と同一の思想原理に立って進められたことに反省を加えた。
