이 글은 "노자의 도와 소쉬르의 언어학: 잘못된 만남"의 후속편으로 기획되었다. 노자의 도와 소쉬르의 언어학의 접점을 찾기 위해 '비상명(非常名)'을 어떻게 이해해야할까라는 질문을 던졌다. 노자의 '비상명'이 소쉬르가 말한 기호의 자의성과 부합하기 때문이다. 노자의 비상명이 갖는 성격을 부각하기 위해 공자의 '정명'과 비교하는 방법을 택했다. 이를 통해, 공자의 정명은 언어질서를 통해 예법을 회복하자는 주장임에 반해, 노자의 비상명은 기호의 자의성을 말한 것임을 드러냈다. 노자는 비상명을 통해 기호는 기표(signifiant)와 기의(signifie)가 본질적이고 필연적으로 결합되어 있지 않음을 드러냈다. 여기에서 더 나아가 기호의 자의성으로부터 언어질서는 해체될 수 있으며, 언어질서로 구축된 사회의 구조나 규범, 예법이라는 것도 해체될 수 있음을 보여준다. 결국 노자의 비상명은 제도로서 언어, 상징계로서 언어인 주나라의 언어질서에 저항하는 논리이자 해체의 논리이다. 이를 해명하기 위해, 세 가지 논증을 사용했다. 첫째는 '명'에 대한 중국 고대의 논의가 단순한 관직명과 사물의 명칭인 물명(物名)을 의미하는 것이 아니라, 한 사회의 제도와 법, 규범에 관한 논의였음을 해명하였다. 둘째, 언어 질서가 사회 제도이자 사회 구조임을 해명하는 논증을 소쉬르와 라캉의 말을 가져와 해명하였다. 소쉬르는 언어학의 탐구 대상이 한 사회의 제도와 규범, 법에 대한 탐구라고 말하고 있고, 라캉은 이를 상징계(the Symbolic)라고 말하고 있는 점을 가져와 논증하였다. 셋째, '비상명'이 기표와 기의의 자의적이고 임의적인 관계를 드러내는 중요한 용어임을 해명하였다. 소쉬르는 기호는 기표와 기의의 결합은 본질적이지 않고, 임의적이고 자의적이라고 한다. 노자의 비상명 역시 기표와 기의가 자의적인 결합임을 해명하였다. 이러한 논증을 통해 노자의 비상명이 제도로서 언어와 상징계로서 언어에 저항하고 이를 해체하는 논리임을 해명하였다.

Laotzu's view of language is well expressed at the beginning stanza of "道可道 非常道" of Tao De Ching, the interpretation of which is pivotal for the proper interpretation of the entire text. Two lines of interpretation of this stanza have been proposed; The first view regards the letter "道" in "非常道" as representing that which is signified by a sign. The other takes the posture that the letter "道" is itself the signifier of the sign. I argue in this article that the second posture should be taken to interpret Tao De Ching properly, contrary to the traditional interpretation of this stanza, by pointing out the verses which inevitably contradict each other when interpreted according to the first view. The second view leads to the conclusion that everyday language is not sufficient enough to describe the supernatural beings, including Tao, accurately, and seeks a way to augment ordinary language for appropriate description of such supernatural beings. The strategy Laotzu adopts in Tao De Ching is to expand the expressive power of ordinary language by extensive use of metaphors. This paper discerns 4 conceptual metaphors in the sense of Johnson and Lakoff(1980) which underlie the metaphors used in Tao De Ching: (1) Tao is Void; (2) Tao is Mother; (3) Tao is Valley; and (4) Tao is Untrimmed Log.

Traditional Medicine (TM) is called as philosophical medicine in Korea. An unified theory named as Sihnsang-hanron (SSHR) was hypothesized through studies of scientific analyses on various theories of TM. SSHR has extracted seven concepts which are six common ones from the great three books (三大原典) and the Logic of Laotzu & Chuangtzu (老莊思想). Six common concepts are the affecting by cold (傷寒), qi (氣), cold or heat (寒熱), exterior & interior of body (表裏), deficiency or excessiveness (虛實), and yin & yang (陰陽). We have tried to apply these seven concepts to Physics and Life Science. The affecting by cold means anti-sunlight and the origin of all diseases. The difference between TM and modern medical science would be in diagnostic methods as well as their theoretical analyses for various diseases. The modern science follows Haeckel's positive dialectics applied by the biological monism, and oriental one(SSHR) does Yin-Yang monism from the studies of Logic of Laotzu (老子) & Chuangtzu (莊子). SSHR would make the theory of exterior & interior of body (表裏論) and six channels (六經) develope scientifically as a diagnostic technique of disease. This theory is an excellent one that can't be found out in modern medical science, and so it should be developed as a scientific theory by using modern mechanic instrument. Chuangtzu asserted that ai was the basic substance of the universe. It is hypothesized that qi (氣) is like small particles -higgs, with dynamic power in modern Physics. We consider cautiously qi could be calculated by mathematics through higgs' bosons in near future.

The aim of this study is to examine the patterns of expressing contemporary beauty from the perspective of Laotzu's philosophy in order to suggest its concept and characteristics and to suggest specific cases through cosmetics advertisement. In doing so, the study attempted to understand that contemporary beauty is more humanistic and liberal in terms of expression patterns than in any other time period. The research results are as below. The frame concept of Laotzu's philosophy includes 1. Naturalness, 2. coexistence in Conflict, and 3. Non-otherness. The characteristics of contemporary beauty are natural and healthy, People can foresee changing beauty by the cycle of life and, by admitting this philosophy, people can understand one's individuality and discover self-esteemed beauty. Also, the results from the cases of cosmetics advertisement are as below: 1. Naturalness was remarkable. Such phenomenon was common in representative brands of the research subjects. Expression pattern was based on soft, natural make-up and hair style. 2. For conflict and coexistence, they introduced the ancient image of the situation, and the situational image using food and herbs demonstrated a functional, situational image, which was used for the cosmetics advertisement based on the mutual coexistence concept instead of dichotomy of period or material. 3. Non-otherness advertisement, of which there was none, we expected that maximized marketing effect would be achieved if non-otherness cosmetics advertisement expressed the contemporary beauty because it could solicit sympathy form many consumers.
