Hassan Abdullah Hamdan (Arabic: حسن عبد الله حمدان, 1936 - 1987), more commonly known by his pseudonym Mahdi 'Amel (Arabic: مهدي عامل), was an Arab Marxist intellectual and political activist in the second half of the 20th century. Mahdi was one of the most influential Marxist thinkers in the Arab world during his time; his work remains both influential and respected.〔http://www.therealnews.com/t2/component/content/article/132-more-blog-posts-from-vijay-prashad/1998-the-arab-gramsci therealnews.com〕 The pseudonym, Mahdi Amel, comes from Jabal Amel, a predominantly Shiite mountainous region in southern Lebanon.〔 'Amil was a professor of philosophy at the Lebanese University in Beirut, and a prominent member of both the Lebanese Communist Party and the Union of Lebanese Writers. He also contributed to the magazine ‘‘al-Tareeq’’, the mouthpiece of the Lebanese Communist Party.〔http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/7672/hassan-hamdan-mahdi-%60amel_a-profile-from-the-archi jadaliyyah.com〕 'Amil was assassinated at the relatively young age of 51, amidst the violence and chaos of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990). There is little evidence indicating who murdered him, but many believe Hezbollah was behind the attack, as the organization was trying to purge the country of Shiites it viewed as atheist.〔 ==Early life== Mahdi was born in 1936 in Harouf, close to the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh. His parents moved him and his siblings to Beirut shortly afterwards. In Beirut, Mahdi attended high school at the al-Maqasid School. In 1956, Mahdi began his university studies in France, eventually receiving a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Lyon. Afertwards, Mahdi began his active involvement with the Lebanese Communist Party, joining in 1960.〔 While in France, he also participated in a secretive group of Arab communists.〔 As his scholarship demonstrates, Mahdi possessed much more command of Marxist theory than most other Arab political activists at the time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahdi Amel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
