Leon Pinsker

Japanese: ピンスカー(英語表記)Leon Pinsker
Leon Pinsker
1821‐91
A physician and writer from Odessa in southern Russia, he was a pioneer of the Zionist movement. Initially, he was a leading advocate of the active assimilation of Jews into Russian society, but in despair after the pogroms of 1881, he anonymously published "Self-Liberation" the following year in 1882. He argued that anti-Semitism would not disappear with the overcoming of prejudice through enlightenment and education, but could only be eradicated when the Jews gained their own territory and homeland and ceased to be a shadowy, phantom presence, and this had a shocking effect on the Jews of Eastern Europe.

南ロシアのオデッサの医師で著述家。シオニズム運動の先駆者。当初ユダヤ人のロシア社会への積極的同化を主張する開明的ユダヤ人の代表的論客であったが,1881年のポグロムに絶望して翌82年匿名で《自力解放》を発表し,反ユダヤ主義は啓蒙と教育による偏見の克服とともに消滅するものではなく,ユダヤ人がその固有の領土・故国を得て,影のない幻のような存在であることをやめて初めて根絶できると主張し,東ヨーロッパのユダヤ人に衝撃的な影響を及ぼした。
