'Abd al-Rahman al-Kawakibi (Arabic: عبد الرحمن الكواكبي, romanized: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Kawākibī‎, c. 1854-c.1902) was a Syrian author, a liberal thinker, and Pan-Arab solidarity supporter. He was one of the most prominent intellectuals of his time; however, his thoughts and writings continue to be relevant to the issues of Islamic identity and Pan-Arabism. His criticisms of the Ottoman Empire eventually led to Arabs calling for the sovereignty of the Arab Nations, setting the basis for Pan-Arab nationalism. Read more on Wikipedia
