Caodaism is a new religion from Vietnam which began in late 1925 and spread rapidly across the French colony of Indochina. With a broad syncretic aim, the new faith sought to revivify Vietnamese religious traditions whilst also incorporating religious, literary, and spiritist influences from France. Like Catholicism, Caodaism kept a strong focus on its monotheistic nature and today Caodaists are eager to label their religion a monotheism. It will be argued here, however, that the syncretic nature of this new faith complicates this claim to a significant degree. To make this argument, we will consider here the nature of God in Caodaism through two central texts from two important stages in the life of the religion. The first is the canonized Compilation of Divine Messages which collects a range of spirit messages from God and some other divine voices. These were received in the early years of the faith. The second is a collection of sermons from 1948/9 that takes Caodaist believers on a tour of heaven, and which is entitled The Divine Path to Eternal Life. It will be shown that in the first text, God speaks in the mode of a fully omnipotent and omniscient supreme being. In the second text, however, we are given a view of paradise that is much more akin to the court of a Jade Emperor within an East Asian milieu. In these realms, the personalities of other beings and redemptive mechanisms claim much of our attention, and seem to be a competing center of power to that of God. Furthermore, God's consort, the Divine Mother, takes on a range of sacred creative prerogatives that do something similar. Additionally, cadres of celestial administrators; buddhas, immortals, and saints help with the operation of a cosmos which spins on with guidance from its own laws. These laws form sacred mechanisms, such as cycles of reincarnation and judgement. These operate not in the purview of God, but as part of the very nature of the cosmos itself. In this context, the dualistic, polytheistic, and even automatic nature of Caodaism's cosmos will be considered in terms of the way in which they complicate this religion's monotheistic claims. To conclude, this article seeks to demonstrate the precise relevance of the term 'monotheism' for this religion.

오늘날 현대사회에서 우리는 불안, 두려움, 괴로움, 분노, 슬픔, 갈망, 욕망, 쾌락과 같은 감정의 문제를 철학의 중요한 주제 중 하나로 인지하게 되었다. '감정의 문제' 좀 더 포괄적으로 말하자면, '마음의 문제'를 우리는 어떻게 연구할 것인가? 이러한 문제의식으로 마음에 대한 연구는 인간의 가장 깊숙한 내면의 느낌과 생각을, 그리고 다른 사람의 감정과 연관 지어 생각할 수 있게 한 출발점이라 할 수 있다. 무엇보다도 오늘날 타인을 이해하기 위해서 그리고 더 나아가서 인간을 이해하기 위해서 마음의 문제 중에서 감정이입 내지는 공감의 역할을 강조하고 있으며, 특히 심리학과 철학에서 그 현상이 두드러지고 있다. 필자는 감정이입이나 공감은 인간의 고독과 괴로움, 또는 소외감을 벗어나게 해 주며, 인간간의 소통을 위한 출발점이라는 사실은 분명 인정한다. 하지만 이 지점에서 가장 근원적 물음인 "인간이란 무엇이며, 누구인가?"라는 주제를 상기해 본다. 다시 말해서 인간은 정신 또는 마음으로서의 존재만이 아니라 "물질적인 것-생명적인 것-정신적인 것"이 포함된 "단일-존재"로서의 인간이라는 사실이다. 그런 한에서 인간과 연관된 문제는 인간과 물질적인 사물과 식물, 동물과의 유기적 연관성을 가진 생태학적 생명이라는 관점에서 접근할 수 있으며, 더 나아가서는 삶의 원리와 가치를 부여하는 종교적 실천을 통해서 진정한 소통과 이웃사랑의 사회가 형성될 수 있기에, 종교적 영성이라는 측면에서 접근할 수 있다는 가능성을 타진하는데 이 글의 근본목표가 있다. 결국 인간의 고통과 불행 그리고 현대사회에서 제기되는 인간과 연관된 여러 문제들을 마음의 논의로 한정시키기 보다는 단일체로서의 인간관을 바탕으로 한 생명과 종교적 영성을 통하여 다양한 해결 가능성을 살펴보고자 함이 이 글의 내용이다.

본 논문에서는 무의식의 창조성이 종교와 어떻게 연결되는지를 그리스도교를 중심으로 살펴보려 한다. 융은 인간의 무의식을 과학적으로 연구하려 했던 프로이트의 무의식관이 오직 자아에 의해 무의식적으로 억압되어 있는 부문만을 포함하고 있음을 비판하면서, 무의식의 범위에는 억압된 내용뿐만 아니라 의식의 문턱값에 이르지 못한 모든 심리적 소재가 광범위하게 포함되어 있는 것으로 파악했다. 또한 인간 정신 역시 전적으로 개별적인 현상일 뿐 아니라 집단적 현상이기도 한 것이기에, 이러한 집단정신이 정신기능의 하부를 포괄하고 있고, 의식과 개인적 무의식은 정신기능의 상부를 포괄하는 것으로 보았다. 무의식은 자기조절의 기능을 지니고 있음을 융은 다양한 임상경험과 스스로의 체험을 통해서 알게 되었다. 그러므로 무의식은 '요구'할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 자신의 요구를 다시 거두어들일 수도 있는 것이다. 이러한 기능을 융은 무의식이 지닌 자율성으로 보았으며, 이처럼 자율적으로 움직이는 무의식이 창조적으로 만들어내는 꿈이나 환상을 통한 상(像)들은 풍성한 관념뿐 아니라 감정을 포함하는 모든 것이다. 무의식의 이러한 창조적인 상들이 인간이 본래의 자기(Self)를 찾아나가는 '개성화의 과정'을 도와주고 이끌어나가는 것이다. 이처럼 자아의식을 보상하는 무의식의 과정은 전체 정신의 자가조절에 필요한 모든 요소를 지니고 있어 창조적인 방법으로 자율적으로 작용하는 것이다. 융이 체험했던 종교란 바로 무의식의 창조성과 자율성에 의해 움직여지는 집단의식의 상들이 의식을 사로잡아 형성된 '누미노줌'에 대한 숙고의 자세이며, 종파란 바로 이러한 상(像)들이 제의(ritual)나 의식으로 굳어져 신앙 공동체로 형성된 것이다. 융은 종교를 최고, 혹은 가장 강력한 가치와의 관계로 파악하고, 이러한 관계는 양면적, 즉 자유의지에 의한 것이기도 하고 불수의적인 것이기도 한 것으로 보았다. 따라서 사람들은 하나의 가치, 즉 어떤 에너지가 부하된 정신적 요소에 의해 무의식적으로 사로잡힐 수도 있고, 혹은 그것을 의식적으로 수용할 수도 있게 된다. 융은 인간 속에서 최대의 세력을 갖고 있는 압도하는 정신적 요소, 또는 그러한 심리학적 사실이 신(神)으로서 작용하는 것으로 보았다. 융은 어린 시절부터 스위스 개혁교회의 전통적인 분위기에서 자랐지만 자신을 헌신적인 그리스도교인 으로 생각하지는 않았던 것 같다. 그에게 다가온 기독교는 지적(知的) 정직성도 부족했고 영적인 활력도 부족한 생명력이 사라진 습관적이고 관례적인 한 기관일 뿐이었다. 융은 12살 때 자신의 환상을 통해 만났던 극적인 종교적인 체험을 통해서 자신의 무의식 안에 살아있는 신의 존재를 인식했기에, 일생을 통해 끊임없는 신학적인 질문과 삶 안에 얽혀있는 종교적 문제들과 대면했다. 이는 분명히 제도화된 그리스도교의 소생을 위한 융 자신의 개인적인 관심이고 사랑이었음을 이 논문에서 밝혀보려 한다.

Sufficient food supply for all humans was, is, and will remain one of the main priorities for mankind. The choice between food from crops or animals is related to philosophical, religious and ethical, but also cultural and economical, values. However, the concept of sustainable agriculture takes into account the organization of food supply through future generations. Not only quantity, but also quality is important, especially in relation to food safety and the method of production. Specifically, the aspect of animal welfare is becoming increasingly important with the focus on stewardship and stockmanship, i.e. responsibility of humans for their animals. In the future, implications for sustainability in animal production may be of more concern to stewardship paired by stockmanship, responsibility, consciousness and morality. The moral as a basic concept of sustainable agriculture is to maintain continuous development in harmony with nature to meet requirements in the world for living creatures including human beings to live in and steward. The objective of this paper is to discuss the above issues from different viewpoints on sustainable food supply, increasing food consumption and environmental protection.

After a long period of development and worldwide consultation, the London-based Joint Cargo Committee has revised the Institute Cargo Clauses (A), (B) & (C) and some ancillary Institute Clauses. The revision mainly include a clarification of the exclusions within the clauses, some modernization of the language of the clauses and new definitions of some terms. With these revisions, the coverage is widened to offer more protection to the assured. This may enable the widely used Institute Cargo Clauses to receive even greater worldwide acceptance. The following are the main changes in the new 2009 ICC compared with the 1982 ICC. 1. Insufficient or unsuitable Packing or Preparation(Clause 4.3): The revised clause is more favourable to the assured because under the revised clause this sub-clause is only applicable to (a) where packing or preparation is carried out by the assured or their employees or (b) packing or preparation takes place before the attachment of the risk. 2. Insolvency or Financial Default (Clause 4.6): The insolvency and financial default wording is incorporated in the revised clauses, making it more favourable to the assured. 3. Unseaworthiness (Clause 5): The revision is more favourable to the assured in that it limits the exclusion in relation to the unfitness of vehicles, vessels or containers to cases where the assured or their employees are privy to such unfitness. 4. Terrorism (Clause 7): A new definition of "terrorism" is introduced and the revised clause also widens the acts of an individual to encompass ideological and religious motives.

This article as an attempt to analyze Jin-beop-joo(眞法呪, incantation of true law) and the view of Yang-wui Sangje(兩位上帝, Sangje in two Godship) corresponds to the second preliminary work prior to the research on the view of Sangje in Daesoonjinrihoe. The points of this article are as follows: First, Jin-beop-joo and 15 Godship(神位) based hereupon are one of the most essential elements comprising the view of Sangje in Daesoonjinrihoe. Since the other Jeungsan line religious orders except Daesoonjinrihoe does not use 15 Godship in explaining and understanding Jeungsan, this fact should be regarded as an important characteristic of Daesoonjinrihoe. Second, 15 Godship is the important installation to assemble Sangje and the other gods in the same place. In Buddhism temples and China-Taoism temples, the gods each are placed in a separate palace. Whereas Sangje and the gods are concentrated in the same place, Yound-Dae(靈臺) which is the shrine of Daesoonjinrihoe. This fact shows Sangje takes the reins to the gods visually. 15 Godship facilitates that system. Third, the number 15 of 15 Godship symbolizes the natural laws of the cosmos. Thus the shrine of Daesoonjinrihoe implies the law of universe emblematically. Forth, 15 Godship shows that the Highest God in Daesoonjinrihoe are located in the middle of the functional gods ruling over nature like mountain, sea, season, the Great Dipper, and Taoistic or Buddhistic gods like Ok-hwang Sangje(玉皇上帝, The Great Jade Emperor), Seoga-Yeorae(釋迦如來, Tathāgata Buddha), Kwan-seong-Jegoon(關聖帝君, Holy god Guan Yu), along with various envoys and ancestral gods. Besides, considering the fact that the majority of 15 Godship consists of the Eastern deities, it verifies the view of Sangje in Daesoonjinrihoe is built in the Eastern religions. Fifth, whereas the other Jeungsan line religious orders have a tendency of understanding Jeungsan as Ok-hwang Sangje, Daesoonjinrihoe worships Jeungsan as Gu-cheon Sangje(九天上帝), not as Ok-hwang Sangje. This accords with the following fact; Jeungsan is the highest ruling entity in Gu-cheon, whereas in Jinbeonju, which was handed down from Jeungsan, the highest ruling entitiy in Gu-cheon is expressed as a different being from Ok-hwang Sangje. Sixth, Daesoonjinrihoe understands Sangje as the form of two Godship, Yang-wui Sangje, which are Gu-cheon Sangje and Ok-hwang Sangje. Judging from the form of salutation, the status of these two Sangjes are the same. Yet, the object of belief is Gu-cheon Sangje as the highest God, while Ok-hwang Sangje is stipulated as the one who has wielded a true law succeeding to the Gu-cheon Sangje's will. The religious term of Yang-wui Sangje don't imply meaning Gu-cheon Sangje and Ok-hwang Sangje are the same rank. Yang-wui Sangje is the term expresses Sangje in two Godship and involves the orthodox heritage of Daesoonjinrihoe. Along with An Introduction to the Study of the Outlook on the Highest Ruling Entity in Daesoonjinrihoe (I), this article is written, while giving a thought to construct the religiography on the highest God in Daesoonjinrihoe. I hope this article accompanied with the previous one, can be contributed to the fertilization of the soil in the field of Daesoon religious studies.

This thesis explores Vitruvius and his impact upon other Renaissance architects who compare a city to a building or a building to a city, who match the city and the building into a human body, and who develop their own works. The objective of this study is to furnish an interpretation of their theory and practice through their literature and designs. In this point of view, this article takes notice of Vitruvius's six concepts coined from venustas and divides them into two parts: i.e. aesthetic quality (ordinatio, dispositio, and distributio) and technical activity (eurythmia, symmetria, and $d{\acute{e}}cor$) each. This thesis indicates that Vitruvius's successive impacts from the concepts bring about concrete design principles through proportional measurements, placing together, and hierarchic values for the former, as well as appropriate use through beautiful look, symmetrical harmony, and appropriate uses for the latter, tracking notions between a city as a house and vice versa, and either the ideas of the house or the city in the synthesis of the human body, which follows the perfect number and module based on the human body. The thesis shows that the representations of architecture and the city take place with the form of a circle and a square that express the religious belief and the cosmos, substantiating the connection between the proportions of the human body and numbers, and ultimately satisfying a concept of centrality, which is slowly extended to the enclosed plaza at the urban level from chambers, atrium, and corridors at the residence level.

The concept of ‘Open Space’ is conceived to be very valuable subject of interest in developing modern settlement system. In Korea, many new and old residential sites have been developed or renewed to fulfil the housing demands. And such trends seem to continue for the time being. What is more, the requirments for more comfortable residential environments, that is deeply concerned with ‘Open Space’, inorease gradually. As a basis for designing more efficent residential environments to fit Korean morden life style, self - grown, traditional and agricultural villages are studied. This study is concenturated on the Open Space System with its socio - cultural and physical backgrounds. For this, data and materials are some widely collected and are analysed focused on the systems and structures of ‘Open Spaee’. Some results from this study are summarized as follow ; 1. It is assumed that the number of houses per village is around 60, and that its area reaches to the radious of 3-4km. 2. ‘POONGSU’is a generally adopted theory based on natural elements like mountians, waters, and orientations when locating villages and composing their spatial structures. As a result of this, the basic structures of villages and Open Space are defined. 3. Circulation system is integrated to the hierachyal order system ; that is, Passing Road \longrightarrowEntry Road\longrightarrowCentral Read\longrightarrowDisperse and Access Road. 4. The natural and agricultural land uses are overlapped with diverse outdoor activities - religious services, play and recreation, relaxation, etc - without any physical modification. 5. At each villages, several artificial and spot - like green facilities are found. And distinctive functions, meanings, and locationalities are given to each of them. On that, they become a visual and psychological centers of each village. 6. In addition to its basic function of circulation, Central Road takes the sence of place for outdoor activities. Because of this charactor, it plays an important role of activating the village life and binding the various Open Space elements.
