Dr.Mohammad Ighbal, the Pakistani poet-philosopher who played a vital role in the birth of his country, was the first to advocate the formation of independent Moslem state for the subcontinent. As a poet, Ighbal represented in perhaps the most sensitive manner, the collective consciousness of his people during a certain period of history. Another unique contribution of Ighbal to the contemporary thought is his bracketing modern science with "God consciousness" which he considers more precious than mere belief in God. He goes to Europe and become a philosopher. He comes to know the European schools of philosophy and makes them known to others. But meanwhile, he conquers the West. Based upon the knowledge he had of the rich new and old cultures, he was able to develop himself. He was a "reformer" of both individual and social levels. He was a very serious supporter of a deep change in thought. Ighbal was a man or peace, equality and justice. For every human being, regardless of race, religion, region, and social class, he dreamt of a liberated and united world and humanity free form-either capitalist or communist-western rule. The most important point in his philosophy is "selflessness". A person (or a society) must keep his (or its) individual characteristics intact but once this is achieved, he (or it) should sacrifice his (or its) personal ambitions for the needs of the nation. Man cannot realize the "self" out of society. Finally, Ighbal sees the individual and the society as the reflections of each other.
