Zaki Naguib Mahmoud
Zaki Naguib Mahmoud (1905-1993) was an influential Egyptian philosopher and writer known for his contributions to modern Arabic thought and philosophy. His early work focused on logical positivism, where he argued that knowledge should be based on empirical evidence and that metaphysics was often seen as speculative. However, he later modified his views to acknowledge the importance of metaphysical questions in philosophy. Mahmoud's writings covered a wide range of topics, including ethics, education, and cultural criticism, and he played a significant role in promoting philosophical discourse in Arab intellectual circles. His legacy includes a nuanced understanding of the relationship between science and metaphysics, as well as the value of philosophical inquiry in addressing fundamental human concerns.
