Lutfi al-Sayyid

Japanese: ルトフィ・アッサイイド(英語表記)Luṭfi al‐Sayyid
Lutfi al-Sayyid
1872‐1963
Egyptian thinker. He was regarded as a representative figure who inherited the Islamic reform ideas of Muhammad Abduh from a liberal and enlightened standpoint. He developed a theory of a secular state that was not limited to the framework of Islam but also made use of Greek philosophy and Western liberal thought, mainly through his own newspaper, Jarida (1907-14). He played a part in the rise of Egyptian nationalism in the early 20th century. After World War I, he worked hard to develop Egyptian journalism and to popularize education (especially for women), and contributed to the defense of academic freedom as rector of Cairo University from 1926 and as president of the Cairo Academy of Arabic from 1942.

エジプトの思想家。ムハンマド・アブドゥフのイスラム改革思想を〈自由主義開明派〉の立場から継承した代表的人物と目された。自ら主宰する《ジャリーダ》紙(1907‐14)上を中心に,イスラムの枠にこだわらずギリシア哲学や西欧自由主義思想をも駆使する世俗国家論を展開。20世紀初期のエジプト・ナショナリズム高揚の一翼を担った。第1次大戦後はエジプト・ジャーナリズムの発展と教育(特に女性の)普及に尽力,1926年以来カイロ大学学長として,また42年からはカイロ・アラビア語アカデミー総裁として学問の自由の擁護に貢献した。
