Saadeh
understood that a renaissance requires new, upright souls. He therefore turned
to the students, building within them the foundations of national
consciousness. Out of this effort arose that remarkable solidarity which
distinguished the Party in its earliest days.
Students
played a decisive role in spreading the movement—they were the carriers of the new
awareness and the generation best equipped to confront the challenges of
the future. Saadeh spoke to them in the language of reason and conviction,
urging them to embrace the social nationalist culture as the basis for
progress. They became the backbone of the rising movement, its instrument of
change, and the torchbearers of knowledge—disseminating awareness across the
nation’s social landscape.
The
Pillars of the Integrated Renaissance
The
Renaissance project rested on interlocking foundations forming a comprehensive
vision for rebuilding the nation:
- A
national consciousness that forms generations
awakened by science, ethics, and noble sentiment—generations that grasp
the meaning of freedom, dignity, and independence.
- A
productive economy, grounded in science, labor,
and creativity.
- National
institutions capable of turning ideas into
tangible reality and embodying the collective will of the people.
- A
new moral order that educates the soul in true
love—the love of noble values: truth, justice, freedom, peace, and beauty;
the love of society and the readiness to sacrifice for it.
These are not mere ideals—they are the beating heart of the Renaissance. They transform the individual outlook into a national one and replant the lofty moral virtues within the souls of the people.
