Abstract
The article deals with the study of the religious and philosophical views of the Lebanese linguist and writer Kamāl Yūsuf al-Ḥāǧ (1917–1976). The author analyzes the dependence of the concept of al-Ḥāǧ on Bergsonian and existentialist theories, and also reconstructs its social dimension. As shown in the work, the philosopher dialectically explores the relationship between the rational and the irrational in human nature, as well as their subordination to existential faith. Separately, the teaching of al-Ḥāǧ about the role of the individual in history is considered — the figure of a political leader who retains, among other things, a traditional religious status.
