Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out what self-reflection, relationship reflection, gratitude and happiness reflection, and social reflection among the sayings of Confucius in the Analects of Confucius are reinterpreted in various ways depending on the times and what meaning they contain today. Self-reflection is the process of considering one's identity, values, emotions, thoughts, and actions. Humans grow through reflection because they can identify their own problems, acknowledge their mistakes, find opportunities for improvement, and set a direction for the future. Confucius pursued the life of a gentleman as a person who constantly reflects on his life and grows. We classified it into the four categories presented above and examined them. In an era of coexistence with generative AI, Confucius' reflective life and teachings are recognized as important values in modern society in terms of human-centered value orientation, mature human relationships, and continuous social value realization, and reflection on happiness is the best attitude to life.

본 연구의 목적은 『논어』속 공자의 어록 중 자아성찰, 관계의 성찰, 감사와 행복의 성찰, 사회적 성찰은 시대에 따라 다양하게 재해석되며 오늘날에는 어떤 의미를 내포하고 있는지 알아보는 것이다. 자아성찰은 자신의 정체성과 가치, 감정, 생각과 행동에 대해 고찰하는 과정이다. 자신의 문제점을 파악하고 과오를 인정하고, 개선의 기회를 찾아 미래의 방향을 설정할 수 있기에 인간은 성찰을 통하여 성장한다. 공자는 자신의 삶을 끊임없이 성찰하며 성장하는 인격체로서 군자의 삶을 지향하였다. 위에서 제시한 4가지로 분류하여 살펴보았다. 생성형 AI와 공존하는 시대 공자의 성찰적 삶과 가르침은 현대 사회에서 인간 중심적 가치지향, 성숙한 인간관계, 지속적인 사회적 가치실현 면에서 중요한 가치로 인식되며 행복에 대한 성찰은 최선의 삶의 태도이다.
