Zahawi’s innovations as a thinker and a poet.

The poet Jamil Sidqi al-Zahawi (1863-1936) was the first and greatest thinker of modern Iraq, and the only Iraqi writer who has gained a wide reputation outside his country - in other Arab and Muslim lands and in Europe. After a traditional Islamic education, Zahawi fell under the influence of Western philosophy and science and became a free thinker, as well as cm ardent liberal and social reformer. He played a certain part in politics and in the Arab national movement both before and after the 1914-1918 war, but the importance of his work lay in the realm, not of politics, but of ideas.
