What are the meanings of abduction as a methodology of Cultural Studies? By contextualizing Charles Sanders Peirce's logic of abduction in the discipline of Cultural Studies, I explore the epistemological discussion on the modern scientific research methodology of social sciences. Abduction is a kind of logical inference, which is often associated with guessing or intuition. Peirce's method of abduction and Cultural Studies' contextual formation in effect address an alternative methodology to positivism. Criticizing the modern Eurocentric structure of knowledge construction, I suggest that the virtue of abduction, as a logic of discovery, should be re-discovered in the context of Cultural Studies. Abduction holds important lessons for Cultural Studies as well as social sciences in general because of its focus on intuition, empathy, and intellectual collaboration. Through its elaboration of the logic of abduction, Cultural Studies is able to maintain not only its epistemological ground but also its methodological communicability.

In this paper I claim that Lobachevsky's philosophy of mathematics is a kind of reservoir of contemporary philosophy of mathematics. I discuss how his philosophy contributed to the rise of non-Euclidean geometry.

그 동안 사회과학 분야에서의 연구는 논리실증주의의 객관성 중시 사고가 지배해왔다. 그 결과 객관적인 측정과 변수들 간의 관계에 대한 타당성에 중점을 개인간 (interindividual)의 비교에 대한 연구가 주를 이룸으로써 개인의 주관성이 반영되어 나타나는 다양한 자극들에 대한 개인내(intraindividual)의 반응의 차이에 대한 연구가 부진하였다. 사회과학분야에서 중요한 연구대상이 되는 인간의 독특성은 바로 개별 주체들이 가지고 있는 주관성에 있다고 해고 과언이 아닌데 실증주의자들이 사용해 온 계량적 접근방법으로는 인간의 본질적 속성인 주관성에 대한 연구에 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Q 방법의 방법론적 특성과 실제 적용에 대해 알아본다.

This research reviews how tourism geography studies in Anglo-American tradition have evolved since 1930s. The purposes of the research are two fold. One is to analyze the change of tourism geographies research trends in terms of research approach and major research themes. The other is to bring out the lessons from the research results for the development of Korean tourism geographies research. For these purposes, the selected papers and texts have been analyzed according to four research approaches: (1) empiricist approach, (2) positivist approach, (3) humanist approach, and (4) critical social theory approach. The major research themes are the explanation of destination through descriptive research in empiricist approach, spatial analysis and evolutionary research in positivist approach, tourist behaviour and place identity in humanist approach, and tourism and consumption in critical social theory approach. It is expected that the development of Anglo-American tourism geographies study will continue in the future because of the growth of tourism industry, the close relation of tourism and geography in nature, and the active contribution of tourism geographers.

이 논문은 풍우란(馮友蘭:1895~1990)의 신리학적 철학과학관을 해명하는 것이다. 풍우란은 과학의 역할과 중요성을 긍정하면서도, 철학의 독자적인 역할을 인정한 철학자이다. 그에 따르면 과학은 실제세계에 대한 구체적 적극적 지식을 추구하고, 철학은 '인생경지(경계(境界))의 고양'을 추구하며 나아가 정신의 '자유와 불멸'을 목표로 하는 학문이다. 과학과 철학은 학문의 대상 방법 목표가 상이한 별개의 학문이다. 그는 신실재론의 논리분석방법을 빌어 중국전통철학을 재해석하여 신리학적 철학체계를 수립함으로써 그 혼동을 정리하려했다. 과학은 구체적 객관세계[기(器)] 즉 실제(實際)에 관한 학문이고, 철학은 추상적 보편세계[이(理)] 즉 진제(眞際)에 대한 학문이라는 것이다. 그래서 과학은 구체적인 실제세계에 대한 적극적[긍정적] 지식의 축적을 목표로 하고, 철학은 보편적 세계에 대한 이지적 분석 종합 해석을 목표로 한다. 가장 철학적인 철학인 형이상학은 인생의 경지를 드높이는 것을 추구한다. 철학은 최고의 인생경계 즉, 천지경계(天地境界)의 도달을 목표한다. 이를 위해 철학은 진제에 대한 개념적 논리적 분석을 통해 실제를 초월하는 네 가지 형이상학적 관념을 얻어 천지경계에 도달할 수 있다. 천지경계에 도달하는 형이상학적 방법은 두 가지이다. 하나는 정(正)의 방법으로 논리분석법인데, 경험에 대해 논리적 분석 종합 해석을 하는 것이다. 다른 하나는 부(負)의 방법으로 중국화(中國畵)의 '홍운탁월(烘雲托月)'처럼 말할 수 없는 것을 말하는(불가사의(不可思議), 불가언설(不可言說)) 방법이다. 형이상학은 이를 통해 인간의 삶에 자유와 불멸을 가져다줄 수 있다. 이런 형이상학적 활동은 과학이 목표로 하지도 않고 할 수도 없다는 것이 풍우란의 견해이다. 이로서 풍우란은 참과 거짓을 밝힐 수 없는 무의미한 명제의 추방을 주장한 논리실증주의와 대립되는 철학관에 도달했다.

This paper begins with a critique that researches of geography education in Korea have not reflected the ideological debates in education and geography. The purpose of this paper is to figure implications for socially-critical geography education being studied in England as openly-ideological approach. First, ideological viewpoints of geography education was categorized through analysis of ideology in education and geography. Especially, a limit of conservative and liberal approach is indicated, socially-critical viewpoint is intrinsically justified as alternative logic. Socially-critical theorizing can change teacher's role as an agent of curriculum change and their conduct knowledge as well as geography curriculum. Second, (social) concern-oriented geography education to be more concerned to 'the social' can be realized through the third space approach and committed geography education as critical pedagogy. And, critical literacy is needed to teachers and students for practice of socially-critical geography education.

The aim of this study is to examine the limits and problems of researchers that appear in the papers of applied qualitative research by phenomenological methods. Using phenomenological methods in the field of Pedagogy, pedagogical phenomenology is not to approach pedagogical issues that are closely related to human life through scientism or positivism, but to explain them in things themselves. The problem, however, is that cases misunderstood and distorted in the essential meaning of phenomenology are happening as domestic researchers are applying pure phenomenology(the philosophical phenomenology) to the field of phenomenology of practice(the pedagogical phenomenology). Especially, these researchers show some errors caused by lack of basic understanding about research logic and research techniques in qualitative research methodology. Thus if a researcher carry out a qualitative study by using phenomenological methods, she or he needs insights in analysing and interpreting the essence of the various phenomena appearing from the participants by comparing in with her or his own lives.

Since the emerging period in !be Greek era, geography bas been defined as an empirical science in which travel and field trip bas been regarded as its major method for acquiring geographical knowledge or discovering geographical facts on the earth surface. In the contemporary geography, however, this kind of empiricism has been reduced to logical positivism which pursues rigid geographical laws, while diverse implications for empiricism (especially, that implied in the mythic imagination) have been ignored. On the other hand, recently a lot of books on trip for exploring regional cultural environments from the local to the global level have been poured out from outside of geography, and place-marketing has gained some attraction as a new method or strategy for regional development This paper is to consider diverse methodological implications of experience through geographical exploration especially hath from the standpoint of empirical geography and of humanistic geography, and the look on methodologically importance and limitations of place-marketing for regional development In conclusions, it is emphasized that those methodologies should be put together for a genuine exploration of regional cultural environment, and that place-marketing should be understood as a movement for rediscovering regional identity.

This study explains a turning to being cultured and geography management to get closer to popularization and specialization of geography, for which based on the assumption that they are for development of knowledge. It adopts the idea of human's geographical nature to solve the dualism which geography is referred as science and art. An object geographer studies is homogeneous, temporal as well as identifical and individual. To adopt human's geographical nature causes to human's geographical investigation, and uniting positivism to humanism. It deduces from the Bible and Evolutionism that it is characteristic of mobility, adaptabilty, connectivity, ideality, and hybridity. Geographical concepts is based on the fact that it can be applied to geographical research theme. Popularization of geography has to relate to being cultural, and specialization of geography has to relate to geography management.
