Alfred Manes

Japanese: マーネス（英語表記）Alfred Manes

1877‐1963
German insurance scholar. Born in Frankfurt, he studied at universities in Strasbourg, Göttingen, and London. He later contributed to insurance science as president of the German Insurance Society and editor of the Journal of Insurance Science. The "satisfaction of need theory," which he proposed in his major work, "On Insurance" (1905), which states that the purpose of insurance is to satisfy economic needs (necessities), remains one of the most influential theories of insurance even today. He also argued that the spirit of insurance is the phrase "one for all, all for one," which later became a famous phrase quoted by many insurance scholars.

ドイツの保険学者。フランクフルトに生まれ，シュトラスブルク，ゲッティンゲン，ロンドンなどの各大学に学ぶ。その後ドイツ保険学会会長，《保険学雑誌》の編集者として，保険学に貢献した。主著《保険論》(1905)で提唱した，保険の目的を経済入用(必要)の充足であるとした〈入用充足説〉は今でも有力な保険学説の一つとなっている。また〈万人のための一人，一人のための万人〉という言葉を保険の精神であると説き，これは後に多くの保険学者が引用した有名な言葉となった。
