Abstract

This study is purposed to discuss attributes and limitations of neo-liberalism and to offer some roles of Christian education corresponding neoliberalism. Neo-liberalism is an econosuperism that entrusts all things to market order, and it regards this market as utopia. It does not remain as just an economical principle, but influences all aspects in human life. Then it shows its religiosity connecting to capitalism. Every human in it is thought of as flexible workforces appropriate to neo-liberalism market. Such being the case neo-liberalsim strenghtens instrumentation in education. Then it distorts freedom and equality, and it weakens traditional values. Because of this, modern people's identity is getting to be lost and their human characters to be floated. This study discusses these things critically, and offers roles of Christian education such as founding a well balanced understanding on the Scripture against this neo-liberalsim market, restoring the essential purpose of education from instrumentation in education, and investigating and applicating a holistic human character on the basis of a Christian anthropology against this new human character of neo-liberalsim.

본 연구의 목적은 신자유주의 특성과 교육의 한계를 논의하면서 이에 대응하는 차원에서 기독교교육의 역할을 제시하는 데 있다. 신자유주의는 시장을 유토피아로 전제하면서 완전한 시장 질서에 모든 것을 맡기는 경제우선주의 사상이다. 이는 단순히 하나의 경제원리에만 머물지 않고 인간 삶의 모든 영역에 영향을 주면서 특히 자본주의와 연결하여 종교성을 나타낸다. 여기에 속한 인간은 신자유주의 시장에 맞는 유연한 노동력으로 이해된다. 그런 까닭에 신자유주의는 교육의 도구화 현상, 자유와 평등에 대한 왜곡, 전통적 가치에 대한 상실, 그리고 정체성을 잃고 표류하는 인간상을 심화시킨다. 본 연구에서는 이런 점들을 비평적으로 논의하면서, 시장에 대하여 성경에 기초한 균형 잡힌 이해, 교육의 도구화 현상에 대응하여 교육 본연의 목적 회복, 그리고 기독교인간학에 기초한 통전적인 인간상 규명과 적용에 있어서 기독교교육의 역할을 제안하였다.
