Notes
Aristotle Valoritis was a poet with a warrior's conscience, his poetic work committed to the idea of freedom and justice. He had a purely Greek conscience that forced him to defend the interests of the Greek nation. This, in fact, is evident in his struggle for the union of the Ionian Islands with the rest of the Greek nation. Not only was he a fighter for the freedom of his fellow citizens and his nation alone, but he shaped his struggle to include his fellow human beings through Fotini's writing. On the other hand, when reading Al-Kawakibi's works carefully, one can see a fighting spirit for freedom and the idea of reform. He even believed that religion should not be a tool of tyrants so as not to give a sacred form to their actions. The spirit of both could not bear the thought of national persecution. They were both trying to achieve what was best for their countries. We see that the two remained loyal to their ideas, that is, Aristotle Vallauretis remained loyal to the great idea. Al-Kawakibi supported the idea of reform until the end of their lives. Also, if Phalauretis was loyal to the union of the Ionian Islands with Greece, Al-Kawakibi firmly believed that the Arabs should unite and secede from the Ottoman Empire to establish their own empire based in the holy city of Mecca. Al-Kawakibi carefully analyzed the word "tyranny" and its negative effects on society and people. He even considered tyranny the cause of all evil and decadence in Arab society. That's why he campaigned for freedom of thought and expression. He criticized the way the Turks ruled the Arabs. He even considered that an Arab caliphate should be established in Mecca, which would be the beginning of the establishment of a comprehensive Islamic caliphate that would operate fairly and without discrimination. His ideas are very important, not only because of their originality, but because they direct our attention to the trend of Arab nationalists who emerged in the 19th century, who believed that Turkish rule must end. Al-Kawakibi analyzed in depth the word “tyranny” and its negative effects on society and people. He even considered tyranny to be the cause of all evil and decadence in Arab society. That is why he himself campaigned for freedom of thought and expression. He criticized the way the Turks were managed in favor of the Arabs. He even considered that an Arab caliphate must be established in Mecca, which would be the beginning of the establishment of a comprehensive Islamic caliphate that would operate justly and without discrimination. His ideas are very important not only for their prototypes but because they direct our attention to the trend of Arab nationalists who emerged in the 19th century who believed that Turkish sovereignty must be ended.
