Abstract

Purposes: This study is to examine the causes of limitations of modern western science and philosophy through Ayurvedic thought, and to seek the path of holism for the development of national healing projects. Methods: Therefore, it was inferred that the background of modern Western civilization and the reality of the national healing project would share the flow. In order to examine this, the difference between the East and West's 'recognition of the body and the mind' and the 'perspective on the origin of existence' was examined, and the characteristics of the Ayurvedic five-element novel were examined. Results: Through that process, the "mind and body dualism" in the West and the absence of the "empty element( 空 Śunya)" in Western four-element novels were pointed out as the cause of the limitations. In the sense that the 'empty element' is an invisible world and an immaterial world, it was concluded that the absence of justice was a limitation of Western civilization and a problem of the reality of the national healing project. Conclusions: I hope that this study will lead to continuous research on Ayurvedic ideology and research in the field of natural healing, thus contributing to the development of national healing projects and leading to health, well-being, and self-healing of the people.

목적: 본 연구는 아유르베다 사상을 통해 현대 서양 과학과 철학의 한계의 원인을 고찰하고, 치유사업 발전을 위한 홀리즘의 길을 모색하고자 하였다. 이에 현대 서양 문명이 오늘의 한계에 이르게 된 배경과 치유사업의 현실이 그맥을 함께 할 것이라 추론하였다. 방법: 이를 살펴보기 위해 동서양의 '몸과 마음에 대한 인식'의 차이와 '존재의 근원에 대한 관점'의 차이를 살펴보고 이에 따른 아유르베다 5원소설의 특징을 살펴보았다. 결과: 그 과정을 통해 서양의 '심신이원론'과 서양 4원소설에서의 '공(空)요소'의 부재'를 한계의 원인으로 지목하게 되었다. '공(空)요소'가 보이지 않는 세계, 비물질의 세계라는 점에서 공의 부재가 서양 문명의 한계인 동시에 국가 치유사업 현실의 문제라고 결론짓게 되었다. 결론: 본 연구가 아유르베다 사상의 지속적인 연구와 자연치유 분야의 연구로 이어져 치유사업의 발전의 기초정보가 되고, 국민의 건강과 웰빙·자기치유를 기대하여 본다.
