The article sheds light on Khairallah Khairallah, one of the founding thinkers of the Lebanese idea before it became a state. He sought fundamental formulas to ensure Lebanon's stability, including avoiding isolation, maintaining an undissolved Arab identity, fostering a stable relationship with France, promoting social justice, and establishing independence that is not subordinate to the Mashreq. He prioritized building the state from the individual first, believing that liberation from ignorance and poverty forms a strong foundation for national independence, and rejecting dependency on France or others. His ideas contributed to shaping the language and political argument for the Greater Lebanon project, adding an intellectual dimension that reflected his vision of a free and independent state, one that combines Arab belonging with openness to the West. He passed away before witnessing independence, but he laid down intellectual and philosophical foundations that gifted the modern concept of the Lebanese state, emphasizing the building of strong institutions to preserve freedom and avoiding contradictions between Arab belonging and openness to the West.
