The Philosophy of Liberation in the Thought of the Algerian National Movement and Liberation Revolution, 1919-1962
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Algerian people struggled under the banner of their leaders through different stages in the military, political, intellectual and social fields, and the secret behind this was the ideas behind these historical events, whether in the course of the Algerian national movement or the blessed Algerian liberation revolution. From this perspective, every revolution is the offspring of an idea, which means that there is no revolution without a revolutionary theory and its conceptualisation. This shows the deep connection in every revolutionary project between thought and reality, through the embodied work and effort to realise the idea and complete its stages. Therefore, the Algerian revolution, and before it the national movement, was a clash and a struggle between minds, ideas and wills.
We will try to show that the national idea and the revolutionary philosophy inherent in it have been present in the thoughts and consciousness of the Algerian people since the French colonial presence and remained so until the outbreak of the liberation revolution. These ideas, hopes and aspirations were embodied by the Algerian people under the collective leadership of individuals and personalities who were the vanguard of this people.
