Şinasi (English spelling)

Japanese: シナーシー（英語表記）Şinasi

1824‐71
An Ottoman enlightenment thinker. Under the patronage of Mustafa Reşit Paşa, a promoter of the Tanzimat movement, he studied in Paris. From then on, he continued to work hard to introduce modern Western civilization to Turkey. In 1861, he and his comrades published the first privately run Turkish newspaper, The Translator of Aspects, and, influenced by Western literature, he also began to write new poetry in a style that was not based on classical poetry. Although he was constantly oppressed by Mustafa Reşit Paşa's political enemies, his influence on the thinkers and writers of the next generation was enormous.

オスマン帝国の啓蒙思想家。タンジマートの推進者ムスタファ･レシト･パシャの庇護を受け，パリに留学。以後，西洋近代文明のトルコへの紹介･導入に努力を傾け続けた。1861年には，トルコ人による初の民間新聞《諸情勢の翻訳者》を同志とともに刊行，一方，西洋文学の影響下に，古典詩の方法によらない新体詩も書き始めた。ムスタファ･レシト･パシャの政敵に圧迫され続けたが，次代の思想家･文学者に与えた影響はきわめて大きい。
