| Focusing on the thought and political action of Salama Moussa in the realm of socialism this paper tries to evaluate the fundamental elements within the thought of above scholar. By reviewing his writings and his political attitudes it seems that the socialist Salama Mousa, adapting Fabin socialism, had been able to form a theory of his own compatible to his bio-universal attitude. This theory formed and applauded by Egyptian political environment did actually make him against so called the Socialist Revolution. The revolution might occur when the society is forced to or deviated from its natural path. In addition, he rejects Darwinian principle of survival in society although he accepts cooperation as a factor of development. He is against atheism and also puts stamp on establishing a democratic state. Moreover, he considers the intellectuals as influential figures for change where the labor could stand in the second place. Those fundamental elements represent an appropriate conformation of his thought with the characteristics of his society. |
