  • An environmental problem is the important issue of mankind. It should be treated main discourse in our period. There are many assertions related to environment but they are not to be clearly classified because of miscellaneous paradigm. It is possible to classify into two category on the basis of human attitude toward nature and environmental problem. One of them is anthropocentrism and the other is ecocentrism. This classification is helpful to understand various environmental discourses. Owing to different paradigm approach, anthropocentrism and ecocentrism have different concept for environmental problem. Anthropocentrism is powerful to the real life in behalf of economic rationalism. But ecocentrism is important for the only settlement of environmental problem in ecocentric perspectives. Therefore a new scheme for environmental problem solving is necessary through combining the merits of anthropocentrism and ecocentrism.

  • Whereas many Dickinson scholars tend to focus on Emily Dickinson's anthropocentric dimension, her work also reveals an ecocentric aspect. On the one hand, influenced by New England Puritan typology and its offshoot Emersonian Transcendentalist idealism, Dickinson reveals her indebtedness to these two worldviews by emphasizing the invisible over the visible and the spiritual over the physical. At times, she reflects the common thread of the two outlooks-a hierarchical thinking, in which nature is inferior to human beings and does not have its own identity outside of human use. On the other hand, seeing through the downside of the hierarchical Emersonian idealism, Dickinson sometimes suggests an alternative stance on nature in a nonhierarchical way. She often appreciates nature for its own sake, becoming its neighbor and companion. This aligns Dickinson with modern ecocritics and ecofeminists who criticize a hierarchical anthropocentrism and promote an egalitarian ecocentrism in which natural and human beings are fellow citizens of the earth community. And yet, unlike most ecocritics who advocate a complete shift to an egalitarian paradigm, Dickinson embraces both anthropocentrism and ecocentrism in her poetry of "open portfolio." This openness stems from her belief in interrelatedness between God, nature, and human beings. Housing the two opposing perspectives in her poetry, she widely opens the possibility to choose the better way to relate to our sister and brother, nature.

조경의 환경윤리에 대한 비판적 해석과 도덕적 위치 - 유진 하그로브의 '약한 인간중심주의'를 중심으로 - (Critical Analysis about Environmental Ethics and Moral Position of Landscape Architecture - Focusing on Eugen C. Hargrove's 'Weak Anthropocentrism' -)

  • 조경은 스스로 환경적 지위를 확보하기 위해 환경윤리를 이론으로 흡수하였다. 그러나 환경윤리는 자연 보전에 집중한 나머지 조경을 인공물로 취급하며 도덕 대상에서 배척하였다. 그 과정에서 조경은 인간과 자연의 중도적 입장을 주장하나 도덕적 정체성을 의심하게 한다. 오히려 조경은 '자연의 대리인'으로 자처하며 '인간을 위한' 조경의 전통적 도덕관을 밀어내고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 환경윤리의 비판적 해석을 통해 인간중심으로서 조경의 도덕적 위치의 재정립을 연구의 목적으로 삼는다. 환경윤리의 여러 분파 중 하그로브의 '약한 인간중심주의'는 조경처럼 자연미학을 윤리적 덕목으로 삼는다. 그러나 상이한 자연관 때문에 환경윤리는 조경을 비판적 대상으로 삼는다. 그러한 이유로 필자는 하그로브의 조경 비판 내용을 살펴보고 그에 대한 반론을 도덕적, 미학적, 조경적 입장에서 살펴본다. 비판 내용은 다음과 같다. (1) 자연은 존재 자체로서 미적이고 도덕적인 반면 조경은 모조품으로서 자연에 대한 완화된 태도를 취한다. (2) 자연은 자기창조적이기에 완전한 미적 실체인 반면 조경은 상상을 통해 인간적 결함을 감추는 설계된 자연이다. (3) 자연에 기술을 부여하는 환경관리는 무의미하기에 도덕적 허무주의를 발생한다. 이에 대한 반론으로 환경윤리는 '도덕적 자율성'을 배제하고 '도덕적 선'을 단순화함으로써 조경이 내포하고 있는 자연을 넘어선 도덕적 실천 능력, 창조와 상상의 폭 넓은 도덕적 의미, '돌봄'으로서 환경관리의 도덕적인 면을 간과하고 있다. 그 결과, 현실에서 자연의 문제는 인간의 삶과 분리할 수 없기에 더 이상 보전만이 미덕이 될 수 없다. 또한 조경은 '선한 삶'을 기반으로 하기 때문에 중도적 위치보다는 인간중심적 도덕적 위치가 타당하다.

基督宗教与大巡真理会的「道成肉身」思想之比较 (A Comparison of Incarnation Theology in Christianity and Daesoon Jinrihoe)

  • 此论文的目的是通过横向比较 《圣经》 和 《典经》 中的道成肉身思想, 揭示基督教最终走向神本主义道路, 大巡真理会最终走向人文主义道路的根本原因。基督教和大巡真理会都承认人的世界之上另有一个人的感官触及不到的世界。而且他们都主张上面的世界有一个至高者, 而且这位至高者通过女人的身体来到了人的世界。但不同的是, 基督教认为2000多年前在伯利恒出生的耶稣就是那位至高者, 而大巡真理会认为100多年前出生在朝鲜客望里的姜一淳才是那位至高者。基督教的神来到人间是为了替人类赎罪, 为此道成肉身者被钉在了十字架上流干了血, 成了赎罪的羔羊。大巡真理会的上帝降诞人间是为了帮人类解冤, 为此道成肉身者大巡天地人三界, 探索偏斜的度数并将其调正。基督教所谓的"罪"本质上是对至高神的"背叛", 这意味着神的世界不能容忍罪, 所以当第一个人 (亚当) 背叛神以后被赶出了圣洁的伊甸园。从此人的世界与神的世界之间就产生了不能逾越的鸿沟。相反, 大巡真理会所谓"偏斜的度数"并非是对至高者的背叛, 而只是一种自然的结果而已。也就是说, 度数偏斜的现象不仅能发生在人的世界里, 也能发生在神明的世界之中, 而且两个世界还可以相互作用, 相互影响。因此可以说, 基督教思想中的两个世界是两个完全不同秩序和不同系统的世界, 而大巡真理会思想中的两个世界是同一个秩序和同一个系统下运转的世界。大多数将某一事物分割成两个部分的思想主要是为了强调一边比另一边更重要或更关键。基督教以神的世界为人世界的最终根源和终极关怀, 以人对神的绝对信仰和绝对崇拜为人生最高的价值。相反大巡真理会则认为人的世界决定了神明界的存在意义, 主张人与人之间, 人与自然之间的互利相生是人尊时代的核心价值。由此可以得出本论文的最终结论 : 导致基督教踏上神本主义道路的根本原因是他们相信在完全相隔绝的两个世界中, 神的世界是人世界的最终根源和终极关怀 ; 导致大巡真理会走向人文主义的根本原因是他们相信在可以相互作用且可以相互影响的神明界与人世界中, 人世界决定神明界的存在意义。

동물-타자에 대한 실코의 스토리텔링에 나타나는 포스트휴머니스트적 윤리-정치성 (The Posthumanist Ethico-politicality in Silko's Storytelling of the Animal-Other)

  • This essay explores how Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony and Storyteller encourage human's sympathetic relationship with the nonhuman animal-Other, paying attention to her posthumanist voices against anthropocentric mistreatment of animals which is inseparable from white Americans' environmental and racio-ethnic subjugation of nature and Natives in the colonialist history of the United States. As a way of dissolving the problematic anthropocentrism and embracing the animal-Other as a fellow creature, Silko employs and transforms Native American oral tradition in her own idiosyncratic posthumanist storytelling. In order to highlight the ethico-political examination of the animal issue in her storytelling, this essay refers to contemporary posthumanist thinkers such as Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben, and Gilles Deleuze who are all in their own ways critically engaged with Western metaphysical anthropocentrism. Arguably, in a similar vein with the posthumanist critics, Silko disrupts the mischievous hierarchical opposition of humans/animals that have directly or obliquely warranted violence against the animal-Other. In order to demonstrate Silko's ethico-politicality concerning the animal issue, this essay inquires her critical perception of humans' misunderstanding (or misbehavior) toward animals in terms of the suffering and death of animals. Besides, Silko's posthumanist storytelling of the animal's gaze (as Derrida notes as an event of revealing human aporia and vulnerability) and "in-between" (as a reification of crossing the boundary of humans/animals) is discussed with the exemplification of Tayo's encounter with a mountain lion and a bear-man Shush. The posthumanist approach to thinking about the animal-Other in Ceremony and Storyteller would shed light on the ethico-political significances of Silko's storytelling in our time in peril of losing the tie between humans and nonhuman animals.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify environmental perception of eco-friendly apartment residents in the perspective of ecology. Questionnaire survey was adopted in this study, and 92 cases were used for data analysis. As an indicator of environmental perception, the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) instrument was used. The NEP instrument consists of five dimensions: the reality of limits to growth, anti-anthropocentrism, the fragility of nature's balance, the rejection of exemptionalism, and the possibility of an eco-crisis. The findings showed that the residents held ecological environmental perceptions. Various social characteristics(gender, age, income) of the respondents were related to acceptance of the NEP.

  • The main goal of this paper is to suggest a new path to new ecological paradigm in social environmental education. The old paradigm of environmental education consists of two elements. The first element is emphasis on the seriousness and urgency of environmental problems while the second one is the presentation of concrete action programs as solutions of environmental problems. The missing point of this paradigm is the internal process of meaning construction of actors. Any kind of social action must be based on the meaning which the actors gives to their own action. Becoming an environmentally conscious actor, therefore, actor himself needs to interpret the world from the new perspective. In this paper, we call the change of worldview in the deepest sense 'conversion'. Ecological conversion means shift from anthropocentrism to ecocentrism. In the following sections, main characteristics of ecological world view are specified and some examples of ecological confessions which reveal ecological world view are presented. In this last section, 7 ways of lifestyle change which can facilitate ecological conversion are suggested: 1) trying to be alone for a while everyday; 2) making peaceful state of mind; 3) sharpening the 'green sensitivity'; 4) creating slow way of life; 5) choosing voluntary simplicity; 6)raising spirituality; 7) practicing sharing and caring. Social environmental education in the new ecological paradigm could be considered as a starting point towards a civilizational shift from the dominant materialist civilization to the post-material ecological civilization.

  • Haewon-sangsaeng is a key idea of Daesoon Jinrihoe, which, as Professor Bae Kyuhan points out, "… has broad applications." Haewon-sangsaeng is not only congenial to Chinese Harmonism, but it also enriches this concept. However, many scholars understand Haewon-sangsaeng in a relatively narrow scope. For them, Haewon-sangsaeng is confined to pertaining only to human relationships. For example, Don Baker, the author of Korean Spirituality, states that "Haewon means relieving the resentment human beings past and present have felt because they were treated unfairly". Sangsaeng refers to "a spirit of mutual aid and cooperation" rather than "the spirit of competition and conflict that has dominated the human community up to the present day". This article argues that Haewon-sangsaeng not only has religio-ethical implications, but ecological implications as well. Specifically, it has relevance for the goal of creating an ecological civilization that aims at the harmony of humans and nature. In other words, Haewon-sangsaeng can be both "expanded for the global peace and the harmony of all humanity" and can be expanded for healing the relationship between humans and nature, including human beings and viruses. In order not to risk being "the first Earth species knowingly to choose self-extinction", an Ecological Civilization is urgently needed before it's too late. Alone with Chinese Harmonism, Haewon-sangsaeng can make great contributions to the cause of ecological civilization by transcending anthropocentrism, individualism, and the worship of competition as root causes of the predicaments faced by modern civilization.
