Abstract

Korean churches and theology of today are experiencing a decline in reliability and a lack of communication from the Korean society due to the absence of proper reflection. Moreover, with the COVID-19 Pandemic, the church is led to a situation where the problem of survival has become a concern. In addition, churches and theology failed to restore the public nature of faith from civil society, and how these beliefs could be developed in terms of Christian education has become an important theological task. The restoration of the public nature of the church brings interest in public theology, and if education is an important area of the public forum, we pay attention to educational philosophers who provided the basis for publicness and civil democracy education philosophy in Christian education. Rousseau, as an educationalist who opened the modern philosophy of education is opening up the civil society through discovering the existence of children with the proposition "Return to Nature" in the 18th century. This study aims to use Rousseau's educational philosophy in his books Emil, The Theory of Inequality Origins, and Social Contract Theory as the basis of educational theory that opened the foundation of the public domain and civil society.

오늘의 한국교회와 신학은 제대로 된 성찰의 부재로 한국 사회로부터 신뢰성 하락과 소통의 부재를 경험하고 있다. 더욱이 코로나19 팬데믹으로 교회는 생존의 문제를 걱정하는 상황에 이르기까지 하였다. 또한 교회와 신학은 시민사회로부터 믿음의 공공성을 회복하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 신학적 과제가 기독교교육에서 전개될 수 있는가? 교회의 공공성 회복은 공공신학에 관심하게 하며, 교육이 공론장의 중요한 영역이라면 이제 기독교교육은 공공성과 시민 민주주의에 대한 교육 철학적 기반을 제공하였던 교육철학자들에게 관심하게 된다. 루소는 근대 교육철학을 연 교육학자로서 18세기에 '자연으로 돌아가라'는 명제를 통해 어린이의 존재에 대해 발견하고 시민사회를 열어가고 있다. 본 연구는 루소의 저서 『에밀』, 『불평등기원론』, 『사회계약론』등에 나타난 그의 교육 철학적 내용을 검토한다. 이러한 연구를 통해 공공영역과 시민사회를 위해 기독교 공공교육론을 위한 교육 철학적 단초로 전개할 수 있다.
