Georges anawati (1905-1994)
Perennes Jean Jacques - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
A Christian of the Orient, native of Alexandria, Georges Anawati had every good reason to share the reservations of his environment toward Islam. Meeting Louis Massignon and Taha Hussein, entering into the Dominican order and his exceptional gift for friendship made him do otherwise: all his life, he sought better knowledge the Muslim world so feared by those around him. An Egyptian, he wove solid bonds of friendship with the ulemas of the University in al-Azhar and in 1948, he co-published with Louis Gardet an 'Introduction à la théologie musulmane' which was a landmark. In 1953, with other Dominicans, he founded the IDEO (Institut Dominicain d'Études Orientales) in Cairo, whose vocation is to gain better knowledge of the Muslim world through its culture, 'without proselytism'. A tireless worker, he has left an impressive amount of work in the domain of Arab medieval philosophy and the history of Arab sciences, so earning the respect of the Muslim intellectual elite. At the Vatican II council, he was one of the inspirers of the Catholic Church's new vision of Islam, of which he remained a lucid observer. An indefatigable architect of the Islamo-Christian dialogue, Georges Anawati has, above all, shown us the irreplaceable role of friendship whenever we want to hold out a hand to the other. A message for our times.
